The new soccer stadiums we have visited are looking very good, and are ready to host the Soccer World Cup which kicks off in just a few days, on 11 June.

The Cape Town Stadium, previously known as the Greenpoint Stadium, is visible from a great distance, and certainly will remain an icon in Cape Town long into the future. The stadium has a seating capacity of 68 000, and cost R4.4billion to build (approximately $600 000).
