Ellis Park Stadium / Coca Cola Stadium
Ellis Park in Johannesburg, Gauteng, is to undergo minor upgrades for 2010, and has a capacity of 60 000. It will host five first-round matches, one second-round and one quarter-final.
Ellis Park was constructed in 1982 as a modern, integrated
stadium offering outstanding sight lines from every seat. The Stadium stands
within a world class sporting precinct, barely 15 minutes' walk from the
Johannesburg City Centre and 25 minutes from Gold Reef Place Guest House, and
offers outstanding office, security and medical features.
Ellis Park was conceived as a rugby stadium, and is fondly known to all South
Africans as the venue of the 1995 Rugby World Cup final when South Africa
defeated New Zealand, but it has also become recognized as a premier venue for
soccer. Manchester United and Arsenal are two major clubs to have graced the
turf, and the Stadium has hosted South Africa's national team on many celebrated
occasions.
For 2010, new upper tiers will be constructed behind each of the goals, at the
north and south ends of the venue, increasing the net capacity by 10 149 seats
to a total 60 000.
Ellis Park will then meet every requirement to be accepted as a venue for one of
the semi-final matches.
