Nelspruit will be celebrating the construction of a long overdue international standard sports stadium. The stadium has been designed to ensure it enjoys a prosperous life beyond the 2010 World Cup tournament as an adaptable sports, entertainment and exhibition venue.

Mbombela Stadium has been proposed as a venue for both the first and second round matches of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The Mbombela Stadium will be constructed seven kilometres north of Nelspruit. It has been specifically designed to ensure it meets all FIFA requirements. The rounded, rectangular shaped stadium will be a world class facility in an area that has long been denied access to such amenities.
