Ten gorgeous World Cup stadiums in South Africa
Now that the World Cup is here, everyone's getting in on the excitement.
We can't help but share some lovely photos of the ten newly-built stadiums that will be hosting the World Cup in South Africa. And we wonder how they built TEN stadiums while we struggle with our ill-fated, long delayed Sports Hub.
First up is the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein/Manguang. The design looks pretty traditional and only two group matches will be played here.
This lovely 'arch and sail' stadium is the Durban Stadium. Spain will play against Switzerland here, along with the Brazil vs Portugal match.
This is the Ellis Park Stadium, another stadium in their capital Johannesburg. Five matches will be played here, one of them the quarter finals. Argentina, Nigeria, Brazil, North Korea, Slovakia and Italy will be playing here.
This space-age stadium is none other than the Green Point Stadium in the famous city of Cape Town. This stadium will play host to a couple of matches, notably the quarter finals and the semi-finals. Uruguay, France, Portugal, North Korea, Cameroon and Netherlands will be playing here.
This trippy, zebra striped stadium is Mbombela Stadium in Neslpruit. Only two matches will be played here.
Polokwane hosts two games in this stadium, the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
This stadium that looks like a bunch of floating balloons is the Port Elizabeth Stadium in Nelson Mandela Bay. Its one of the more important stadiums as it'll be hosting the quarter final and third place matches.
This is the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in the old capital of Pretoria. Three matches will be played here.
This is the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg. Also three matches will be played here.
Last but not least is the stadium of stadiums, the aptly named Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg. The opening match between South Africa and Mexico will be played here, and of course the World Cup final as well.
So... what will you be betting on tonight?
