Soweto's Soccer City stadium was South Africa’s first world class stadium solely dedicated to soccer, accommodating the South African Football Association’s offices. The stadium hosts most of the country's major soccer events, featuring both local and international matches. The FIFA World Cup opening and final matches, as well as the four first-round matches , one second-round match and one quarter final, will be held at Soccer City, with an additional seven matches taking place at the stadium throughout the event. Major upgrades to the stadium are underway for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the stadium will feature a new design based on traditional African pottery and seating capacity will increase to 104 000. In addition, extensions to the upper tier are underway, a roof is under construction, and changing room facilities are being updated. Located South-West of the Johannesburg city centre, the stadium is seen as a mark of the recent boom in South African football. Both the opening as well as the closing ceremony will take place here, at the Soccer City Stadium.
