FNB Stadium (Soccer City)

The 94,000-seat Calabash stadium hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final and remains Africa's largest and most iconic sporting venue, its terracotta pot exterior visible for miles across the Soweto skyline. Attending a Bafana Bafana match here, with the vuvuzela chorus filling the vast bowl, is a bucket-list sports travel experience on any continent. The stadium's location adjacent to Soweto makes a pre-match township walking tour a natural and moving companion activity.
