Stadium at night, unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to see it lighted up like this.
**************************************************A total of 10 stadiums across South Africa were used to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup. During my trip, I also caught a glimpse of another remarkable venue in Cape Town as our tour bus passed by it. This striking, bowl-shaped arena, known as the Cape Town Stadium, was constructed at a cost of around USD $600 million. Designed with a modern, cup-like form, it became one of the iconic symbols of the tournament. The stadium hosted several memorable World Cup matches, including the semifinal clash between the Netherlands and Uruguay.
