[Edit this paragraph] World Cup venues in South Africa

ellis park stadium

City where Ellis Park Stadium is located: Johannesburg Completion Date: 1982 Status: Slightly renovated (completed in 2009) Capacity: 6 1 0,000 Ellis Park Stadium was actually built in 1928 and has been used as a football field for more than 50 years. It was not until 1982 that the stadium was demolished and rebuilt and the history was rewritten. A Johannesburg City Councillor named JD Ellis proposed to transform the stadium into a football field, so today's Ellis Park Stadium was created. Like Free State Stadium, Ellis Park Stadium has hosted 65,438+0,995 rugby World Cup matches and many football matches. In 2000, a friendly match between South Africa and the new world champion France was held in Ellis Park Stadium.

Durban Stadium

City where Durban Stadium is located: Durban Completion Date: 2009 Status: Newly built (completed in 2009) Capacity: 70,000 people There is a prestigious kings park Stadium in Durban, the second largest city in South Africa, which can accommodate 60,000 people and has hosted many large-scale events, such as the Africa Cup of Nations (1996). In 2002, the warm-up match between South Africa and England was held here, but for other reasons, the South African Football Association, the World Cup Organizing Committee and the Durban Municipal Government gave up using the kings park Stadium and decided to build a brand-new modern stadium, which is Durban Stadium. After the new stadium is completed, 70,000 fans can watch the game on the spot. According to the South African Football Association, the designers are ingenious in designing the stadium. There is a viaduct above the stadium, which runs through the east and west. Judging from the photos provided by FIFA official website, the bridge looks like a bright rainbow, which adorns the stadium with colorful colors.

Football City Stadium (Football City)

City where Soccer City Stadium is located: Johannesburg Completion Date: 1987 Status: Substantial renovation (completed in 2009) Capacity: 94,700 Soccer City is the largest stadium in South Africa, which can accommodate nearly 80,000 people and is the first home of the South African national team. In the 1980s, the municipal government invested in the construction of the first modern football stadium in South Africa, namely the Soccer City Stadium with a history of 20 years. Football City Stadium is regarded as the "flagship store" among the stadiums in 10, the venue of the World Cup in South Africa, because of its large capacity and luxurious facilities, as well as holding large-scale national team competitions and other important activities and gatherings all the year round. It is precisely because of the overuse in the past 20 years that many organizational systems inside the football city stadium have been seriously damaged. For example, when Mandela was released in 1990, tens of thousands of South African nationals poured into the football city to hold a party and demonstrate and issue a declaration, which caused some stands in the stadium to be damaged to varying degrees. After the stadium was completed, its capacity was expanded from 80,000 to 94,700. Imagine what an earth-shattering spectacle it would be if nearly 65,438+10,000 people waved flags and cheered for their beloved team during the game.

Free state stadium

City where Free State Stadium is located: bloemfontein Completion Date: 1952 Status: Moderately renovated (completed by the end of 2008) Capacity: 48,000 Free State Stadium has a history of more than 60 years and is one of the oldest stadiums in South Africa. At present, the Free State Stadium can accommodate 38,000 people. The organizing committee of the World Cup in South Africa thinks that this figure seems to be difficult to satisfy the appetite of many fans. In addition, some facilities in the stadium are in disrepair. After discussion, the organizing committee and the municipal government unanimously agreed to expand the stadium to 48,000 people. At the end of 2008, the renovated Free State Stadium was put into use again. The Free State Stadium once hosted the African Nations Cup14 Final and the Rugby World Cup 1995. In addition, the stadium is the home of South African Super League team bloemfontein Celtics. Like nelson mandela Bay Stadium, Free State Stadium, which was renovated in advance, also hosted the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup.

Nelson mandela Bay Stadium

(nelson mandela Bay Stadium) Nelson mandela bay stadium City: port elizabeth Completion Date: 2009 Status: Newly built (completed in 2009) Capacity: 48,000 There is no special football field in port elizabeth.

In June of that year, the stadium also held the Confederations Cup competition as a warm-up for hosting the World Cup.

Mbobella Stadium (Mbobella Stadium)

Location: Nelspruit) Completion Date: 2009 Status: Newly-built Mbobera Stadium (completed in 2009) Capacity: 46,000 Nelspruit is located in PuMalanga Province in the northeast of South Africa. Compared with Limpopo province, where football culture is developed, the development of sports in PuMalanga province is relatively backward. It is for this reason that the South African Football Association reached an agreement after discussion with the government and decided to build a stadium in Nelspruit, the political and cultural center of PuMalanga Province. In June, 2009, Mbobera Stadium was completed, which is the only large stadium in PuMalanga province and can accommodate 46,000 people.

Peter Mokaba Stadium

The construction of Peter Mokaba Stadium to host the World Cup is a great boon to local residents. Boguani is the largest city in Limpopo province, and the number of registered football players in this province ranks first in the register of the South African Football Association. Hosting top events such as the World Cup will further promote the popularity of football in the local area.

Loftus Forsfield Stadium

City: Pretoria Loftos Stadium Completion Date: 1906 Status: Slightly renovated (completed in 2008) Capacity: 52,000 people Loftos Stadium is one of the most well-equipped stadiums in South Africa 10. According to official website of the World Cup, Loftos Stadium only needs simple maintenance. Loftos Stadium was built in 1903, officially completed in 1906 and put into sports. Formerly known as robert owen Loftos Stadium, this name is also the name of the founder of the stadium. As one of the oldest stadiums in South Africa, Loftos Stadium has hosted 1995 Rugby World Cup and 1996 African Nations Cup. At present, it is also the home of Mamrodi Sunset Club, a strong domestic league team in South Africa. Many South African fans regard Loftos Stadium as a blessing for the national team, because they once defeated Sweden, the arch-rival from Europe, on this stadium for the first time.

Lvdian stadium

Green penalty spot in the city: Cape Town Completion Date: 1906 Status: Minor renovation (completed in 2008) Capacity: 70,000 people Cape Town is the third most populous city in South Africa and a part of Cape Town metropolitan area.

Cape Town is famous for its beautiful natural scenery and docks. Famous landmarks include Table Mountain called "God's Table" and the Cape of Good Hope where the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic Ocean. Because of its beautiful natural and geographical environment, Cape Town is marked as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, so it has become one of the must-see places for tourists to visit South Africa. Green Point Stadium is a multi-functional stadium, which was completed as planned in 2009. After completion, the stadium can accommodate 70,000 people, second only to the current Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg (which can accommodate 90,000 people).

Royal banfuken stadium

City: rustenburg Completion Date: 1999 Status: Small-scale renovation capacity: 42,000 people The Royal Banfokeng Stadium is located in the administrative capital of the Royal Banfokeng State in Northwest Province, near rustenburg. The stadium was built in 1999, which is a comprehensive stadium. Besides football, rugby and other comprehensive sports can also be held here. The stadium is named after the local Banfuken people, and now the population of this ethnic group is only about 30 thousand. From 65438 to 0999, Banfuken people obtained an agreement through law, and obtained 22% ownership of all white gold mines in this area, as well as the equity of Impala Platinum Company, the second largest platinum producer in the world. The Royal Half Fokeng Stadium is very distinctive. Seen from a distance, it looks a bit like a sailboat. In order to host the World Cup, the Royal Banfokeng Stadium was upgraded, including the expansion of the west stand, the addition of a cantilever with a value of 45 million, and a new electronic scoreboard, new seats, lighting equipment and broadcasting system. The capacity has also been expanded from 38,000 to 42,000. Even so, it is still the smallest of the ten stadiums in the World Cup in South Africa.

[Edit this paragraph] South Africa World Cup mascot

A lovely leopard with green African curly hair was used as the mascot of the 20 10 World Cup finals in South Africa. The Organizing Committee of Zakumi, the mascot of the 20 10 World Cup, not only named this little leopard Zakumi, but also made a resume for it. According to Zakumi's resume, he was born in June of 1994+06. This is the day when the apartheid policy in South Africa came to an end. This day is also South Africa's "Youth Day", commemorating the anti-apartheid protests of South African youth under white rule in 1976.

The letter Miku means "10" in many African languages, which means the year of the World Cup in South Africa. [6] A spokesman for the South African World Cup Organizing Committee said that in some languages in southern Africa, "Zakumi" also means "welcome". FIFA Secretary-General Walker said that Zakumi represents the South African people, philosophy and spirit. He believes that Zakumi will bring joy to people before and during the World Confederations Cup and the World Cup in South Africa.

[Edit this paragraph] Match ball: Celebrate the whole world.

"Celebrating the whole world" consists of only eight skins. For the first time, Adidas adopted the method of spherical molding to make each skin realize a three-dimensional structure, and then spliced by thermal bonding technology, thus making the new ball more rounded and more accurate than before. It is worth mentioning that the ball used in this competition is produced by China Jiangxi Jiujiang Si Mai Bo Company.
