Mpumalanga means ´place where the sun rises´ in SiSwati, and Mbombela Stadium, in the host city of the same name will be just that - the dawning of a new era for football in this province. Mbombela Stadium will be a new stadium constructed purposely for the 2010 FIFA World CupTM, and, aptly Mbombela means ´many people together in a small space´! It´s a stone´s throw away from the action of Nelspruit city centre and the convenience of the Kruger-Mpumalanga Airport.

But, with a capacity of 46 000 seats this stadium is anything but small; and its surroundings are the perfect place to go game-spotting between games - so catch 4 first round matches and get a true taste of this lowveld wilderness, that´s wild about football.
