STADIA - COCA COLA PARK
Coca Cola Park (formerly Ellis Park)
In 1995 rugby fever hit the country with
South Africa's hosting of the Rugby World
Cup, the biggest event on the rugby
calendar. Ellis Park was the venue for the
World Cup Final which was played on 24 June
1995. In this spectacular final, New Zealand
and South Africa ran onto the field at 14:45
to a thunderous roar of 62 000 spectators
and millions of spectators glued in front of
their TV's. South Africa won this game 15-12
after extra time was allowed.

Ellis Park and the quality of rugby it
represents became the symbol of South
Africa's achievement as a nation united.
In 2005 Ellis Park Stadium made history by
becoming the first black owned stadium in
South Africa. The Golden Lions Rugby Union
passed the management of the Ellis Park
Precinct to a company with 51% black
ownership. Interza Lesego, Orlando Pirates
FC and Ellis Park Stadium (Pty) Ltd make up
the new management of the Ellis Park
Precinct.
Today Ellis Park is the home grounds of the
Lions, the Cats, Orlando Pirates Football
Club and is also the premier concert event
in South Africa.
