Encyclopedia : M : MB : MBO : Mbombela Stadium

The Mbombela Stadium is a new 45,000 seat stadium to be built as one of ten venues for the FIFA World Cup 2010. It will be located on open land six kilometers west of Nelspruit with the stadium as the centrepiece of a proposed sports precinct with athletics and cricket as well as other sporting codes. Construction is scheduled to commence in October 2006 with a completion date towards the end of 2008. It is proposed that all seats will be covered by a cantilever roof. The roof supports have been designed to resemble a giraffe as the stadium is close proximity to the Kruger National Park.
