STADIA - ROYAL BAFOKENG STADIUM
Royal Bafokeng
Stadium
Located in Rustenburg, in the north west
province, the Royal Bafokeng Stadium was
opened in 1999 and completely funded by the
Royal Bafokeng community, an administrative
entity presiding over the world's richest
platinum mines. Access is simple as it is
built on open land and so has extensive
parking facilities. It is a 90 minute drive
from Johannesburg to the stadium.
Accommodation in Rustenburg
The stadium is currently a multi-purpose
venue which includes an athletics track. It
is already very well-equipped and will
require only minor renovations to bring it
up to FIFA standards. The capacity of the
stadium will be increased to 40,000 with the
construction of two additional rows of
seating on the second level.
New electronic scoreboards, floodlights and
a new public address system will fulfill all
the requirements for it to host the first
and second round matches of the 2010 World
Cup.
