Photo: Soccer City Coming Along Nicely in Johannesburg

Posted: 26 May 2009 03:06 PM PDT






I know everyone’s a little worried about stadia not being completed on time in South Africa, but this recent photo (top) of the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg is nice and reassuring. Definitely more reassuring than the older photo (bottom).

Soccer City is being massively upgraded, with an exterior “designed to resemble an African pot” (see above, definitely not hating it) and a capacity of 94,700.

It’s the centrepiece of World Cup 2010, and will host five group games at World Cup 2010 (including the opener), one second round game, one quarter-final and the World Cup 2010 Final itself.

And it’s looking pretty good if you ask me.
