2010 FIFA World Cup™ stadiums on track and on schedule

Construction of South Africa's 2010 FIFA World Cup™ stadia is on track and progressing well, with the Organising Committee (OC) confident all deadlines will be met.

Ten stadia in nine World Cup host cities will be used for the tournament.

Five stadiums will be used for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup™, namely Johannesburg's Ellis Park Stadium, the Free State Stadium in the Free State, Rustenburg's Royal Bafokeng Stadium, Pretoria's Loftus Versfeld and Port Elizabeth's Port Elizabeth Stadium.

Of the five, four are already in place and currently being used for major international sporting events.

Ellis Park for instance played host to the 1995 IRB Rugby World Cup final between South Africa and New Zealand and is regarded as one of the world's top sporting venues.

Pretoria's Loftus stadium tomorrow hosts a rugby international between South Africa and England and is also a highly regarded venue.
