Host City Polokwane - 2010 FIFA World Cup Stadiums (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
Sports lover´s with a yen for an out-of the-ordinary 2010 World Cup trip should make sure the host city of Polokwane is on their destination list. Meaning ´place of peace´, Limpopo´s capital city is a vibrant mix of VhaVenda and Shangaan culture, mountains and bushveld, including thrilling safari opportunities in the northern Kruger National Park. Football is high on the agenda here with the Premier League Black Leopards and 1st division Winner´s Park teams maintaining local football excitement, along with rivals City Pillars. Half the fun of attending matches in another country is learning their lingo, so find a local watering hole and start broadening your South African football vocabulary - you don´t want to be the only one in the Peter Mokaba stadium not yelling "LADUMA!" when your hero scores a goal.
