"It is more than fitting that, after 80 years of passion and emotions, the FIFA World Cup will arrive on the African continent for the first time in 2010. The fervour is already palpable within South Africa and all around the world: everyone wants to share in this extraordinary event with the best 32 teams competing for the ultimate title in the football calendar." Jerome Valcke, FIFA Secretary General

With just more than a year before the kickoff of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in South Africa's Eastern Cape Province has become the first built-from-scratch stadium to be officially opened for the tournament.



Eight games, including a third and fourth place playoff and a quarterfinal, will take place at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth, which will seat 48 000 fans during the 2010 tournament.
