Nelson Mandela Bay / Port Elizabeth - 2010 FIFA World Cup Stadiums (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
2010 travelers should come to Port Elizabeth, the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro, for more reasons than world-class football. Known as the ´friendly city´, it´s the Eastern Cape gateway to the Garden Route, and surrounding attractions include the world-acclaimed malaria-free game reserves of Addo Elephant National Park and Shamwari Private Game Reserve*; along with miles of South Africa´s most beautiful coastline and the world´s highest bungee jump. Some of our most influential leaders - Nelson Mandela, Govan Mbeki, Walter Sisulu and Steve Biko are all sons of this province, so if you´re looking to explore the rainbow nation whilst enjoying the football there´s no better place. The Nelson Mandela Bay Multi-purpose Sports Facility will be Port Elizabeth´s first world-class sports stadium, and perhaps more exciting than the semi-final results that will happen here, are the long terms benefits for the citizens of this town - it´s a big step up for amateur clubs Bay United and Tambo Cosmos and their legions of fans.
