Peter Mokaba Stadium

City: Polokwane
Opened: 1976
Capacity: 40,000
Distance from city centre: 5km
The Peter Mokaba Stadium is situated in Polokwane, the capital of the Limpopo province in the north of South Africa. It currently serves as a football stadium and an international athletics venue. The stadium comprises only a main stand and three grass banks at the moment, but it will be upgraded in preparation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Plans are for the grass embankments to be built up to enable them to accomodate 20 rows of FIFA approved bucket seating. A new roof will be built which will cover the entire western side of the stadium. An electronic scoreboard, new floodlights, high quality sound system, fire protection and security system will be installed.

This will ensure that the stadium will meet all the FIFA requirements and be a valuable venue both for the 2010 World Cup and the future.
