Soccer City in Johannesburg will be the jewel in the crown of South Africa 2010, hosting both the opening and final matches of the FIFA World Cup.
The newly-reconstructed stadium is one of the most spectacular venues in world football and is inspired by the iconic African pot known as calabash.
With a capacity of 94,000, the stadium will come to life when it is lit at night and will provide the perfect setting for the greatest show on earth.
