Please check out our Durban page if you're looking for Durban accommodation. In preparation for the FIFA 2010 World Cup™, Durban has built the Moses Mabhida Stadium.  The stadium’s iconic design will create an unmistakeable silhouette on the Durban skyline.

Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium takes its design inspiration from the South African flag, with its grand arch representing the unity of a sport-loving nation.  The two legs of the arch on the southern side of the stadium, come together to form a single footing on the northern side, symbolizing the uniting of a once-divided nation.

The stadium has been specifically designed to be active 365 days a year, creating a dynamic entertainment node for the city of Durban, incorporating Imbizo Place with over 7000m2 retail space, an amphitheatre and a cable car.

The cable car will ascend to a viewing platform at the top of the expansive 350m arch, a staggering 106m above the pitch.  From this vantage point, visitors can experience spectacular panoramic views over the ocean and the city.

The stadium is a world-class, state-of-the-art, multifunctional arena located in the heart of the Kings Park Sporting Precinct.  It will seat 70 000 roaring fans for the FIFA 2010 World Cup™, with 54 000 seats in legacy mode (permanent), and the potential to expand to 85 000 seats to meet the requirements of large-scale events such as the Olympic Games.

Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium will be the jewel in the crown of the Kings Park Sporting precinct.  The entire area will feature additional sporting arenas and facilities as well as restaurants, shops, children’s play areas and a pedestrian walkway linking the stadium complex to the beach. 

The Moses Mabhida Stadium is located adjacent to the ABSA Stadium in the Kings Park Sporting Precinct. This venue in Stamford Hill is a world class multi-purpose stadium expected to host some of the best sports games in history - including the much anticipated FIFA world cup of 2010. This stadium is currently booked for hold five group matches as well as the semi-final match of the FIFA 2010 world cup.

Owned by the South African Football Association, this stadium is expect to be booked 7 days a week even after the 2010 Soccer World Cup due to its one-of-a-kind facilities, and the versatility to host soccer, rugby, cricket, or athletics events. This stadium is build to hold 70,000 spectators on demountable seats which can be scaled to match the size of the event. The stadium also has over 7,500 seats with full hospitality facilities and direct access from the main entrance. In the future, the stadium will further increase total seating capacity to 84,000 to potentially accommodate other world-class events such as the Olympics.

This stadium is named after Moses Mabhida, who was a hero of the working class.
