Bet World Cup Soccer / South Africa 2010 Cities and Stadiums

Loftus Versfeld Stadium, Pretoria

In the city of Tshwane (Pretoria), Loftus Versfeld is situated 5 km from the city centre. To qualify for selection as a first and second round venue the floodlights, sound system and scoreboard at Loftus Versfeld will be upgraded and designated media areas will be constructed in the lower level of the west stand.

 

Upgades to Loftus are expected to be completed by 2009. Loftus is the homeground of the Sundowns Football Club, one of South Africa’s premiere professional clubs. Since 1977 Loftus Versfeld has undergone many renovations and its four major stands have been completely rebuilt.

Loftus boasts the country's finest corporate hospitality facilities and will only have to undergo minimal upgrades in order to meet FIFA's stringent requirements for the 2010 FIFA™ World Cup in South Africa.
