World Cup 2010 Stadium, Johannesburg

The final of the World Cup 2010 between Spain and Netherlands was played in this stadium. Spain defeated Netherlands at 1-0 during extra time. South Africa, the host nation was eliminated during the first round.

This stadium has a capacity of 84,490 and built at a cost USD $440 million.
Stadium at night, unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to see it lighted up like this.

*********************************
10 stadiums across South Africa were used to host the World Cup 2010. I also caught a glimpse of another stadium that was used in the Cape Town while our tour bus was passing along the road by the stadium.  This was built at a cost of USD $600 million.

Capacity:64,100
