Soccer City Johannesburg

With the World Cup less than 1 year away work continues on the stunning Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg. According to the stadium website "The design of the stadium is based on the calabash or African pot, this being the most recognisable object to represent the African continent. Otherwise known as the ‘melting pot of cultures’, the design is being constructed on a raised podium, referred to as the ‘pit of fire’, to lend the appeal of the pot being fired. The fiery pit demarcates the security and turnstiles line separating the outer areas and the secure inner areas". Click here for more pictures. This is great stadium design with a distinctly African appeal. One day the Sandlanders hope to have an arena which will tell our own story, support us and be a part of this dream!
