The Soccer City, named for advertising purposes FNB Stadium (First National Bank), is a football stadium located in Johannesburg, South Africa, which will host matches of the FIFA World Cup 2010, among which are the opening match and the final.
Built in 1987, and had 78,000 spectators. It was partially demolished for the World 2010, and its capacity expanded to 94 700 spectators, making it the largest stadium in Africa. Most of the major football events in South Africa develop in the FNB, and that is better suited to these events than nearby Ellis Park, where he played the final of the Rugby World Cup 1995. Soweto and the National Exhibition Centre in Nasrec are nearby.
