Extra stadium info – Mbombela Stadium

In 2010, the stadium hosted four matches for the FIFA World Cup, the prestigious world championship for national football teams. The national football team of Chile won the first FIFA World Cup game at the stadium after beating Honduras. 32,000 spectators showed up for the game. The national football teams of Australia, the Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the Italian Republic, New Zealand and Serbia also played in the FIFA World Cup at the Mbombela Stadium. The stadium design reflects to the nearby Kruger National Park, one of the largest game reserves in Africa. The signature feature of the stadium are the 18 roof supports that resemble giraffes and the seats form a zebra pattern.
