The Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa will be the home for the final match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Boogertman Urban Edge + Partner and Populous collaborated on the elaborate reconstruction on an existing structure originally built in the 1980s (FNB Stadium).
"One of the most artistic and awe-inspiring football venues on the African continent, the newly-reconstructed Soccer City Stadium will host the first and final matches of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™. The ground's design is inspired by the iconic African pot known as the calabash, and its aesthetic appeal will be heightened when the stadium is lit at night..." —Fifa.com
