Being chosen as a 2010 host city is sure to ignite the local football scene, so by the time you arrive - look out for a host of talented newcomers to rival its most famous footballer, fullback David Nyathi; besides the talents of the nearby Witbank Stars football club.

Heighten your big match adrenalin with a hair-raising cable swing across Graskop Gorge - a 68-metre freefall; while the Blyde River Canyon on the Panorama Route provides some of the most awesome hang-gliding and paragliding in South Africa, and aviator´s shouldn´t miss a flip over the world´s third largest canyon. Go mountain boarding, quad biking, abseiling and kloofing (canyoning); or rest yourself before the match with some tranquil fly fishing - Mpumalanga´s highlands are a Mecca for this genteel sport. Find a local sports bar and settle in for a rowdy afternoon of locally brewed beer, spicy Portuguese cuisine (just across the border is Mozambique´s capital Maputo), or a venison potjie (stew) and big screen football highlights; and, this is a great sport and safari destination, so go on a game drive or play a round of golf with the local wildlife keeping score.
