Preparations for the 2010 FIFA World Cup are under way and the largest of the projects is the new Mbombela Stadium.
It will become a much welcomed addition to the football life in Nelspruit, and will leave a legacy of the beautiful game for the people of Mpumalanga. Currently, there is not a football stadium of international standards in the Mpumalanga Province.
The stadium was designed so that all seats have an optimal view of the playing field. It will be located just seven kilometers from the city of Nelspruit and just 12 kilometers from the nearby Kruger-Mpumalanga Airport.
When completed, the stadium will have a seating capacity of 46,000 and will be completed by October 2009.
