To qualify for selection as a first and
second round venue the floodlights, sound
system and scoreboard will be upgraded and
designated media areas will be constructed
in the lower level of the west stand.
It is the homeground of the Sundowns
Football Club, one of South Africa's
premiere professional clubs. It has always
been a major rugby venue, with football only
being allowed to be played since the end of
the apartheid era, marking a significant
change in the thinking and attitudes of
South Africans.
Since 1977 Loftus Versfeld has undergone
many renovations and its four major stands
have been completely rebuilt. Loftus boasts
the country's finest corporate hospitality
facilities and will only have to undergo
minimal upgrades in order to meet FIFA's
stringent requirements for the 2010 FIFA
World Cup
