2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup: Cool Things to Happen in Durban

FootyFan — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 12:41:56 +0000

The New Durban Soccer Stadium for the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup, along with airport and transport projects set to be ready in time for the games, have created a center of opportunity for U.S. businesses in this coastal South African city.

How Cool is the Moses Mabhida Stadium???

Did You Know?

The stadium is being constructed on the grounds of the Kings Park Soccer Stadium, in the Durban sports precinct. The stadium will have the capacity to hold 70,000 spectators during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Its design allows the stadium seating to be reduced to 54,000 for local matches or up-scaled to 80,000 for events such as the Olympic Games.

There are 150 corporate hospitality suites with 7,500 seats.

The government plans to spend at least $860 million (R6 billion) on investments in Durban in preparation for the Soccer World Cup. Projects include a new 85,000-seat stadium, a new airport and trade port, a new tram system in downtown Durban, and upgrades to harbors, roads, railways, and beaches.

The new King Shaka International Airport will replace Durban’s existing airport. The airport and adjacent trade hub will cost an estimated $230 to $285 million (R1.6 to R2 billion). The airport will include a 3.7-kilometer runway and a terminal with capacity to handle 6 million passengers a year.

The adjacent Dube Trade Port will occupy 35 hectares and will offer a cargo terminal, an integrated logistics platform, an agricultural export zone, manufacturing space, and opportunities for property development such as hotel, retail, and conferencing space.

Durban has secured a semi-final game during the 2010 World Cup and hopes to attract well over 100,000 tourists for this game and others.
