2010 Football

posted by Paul
With the South African 2010 Football World Cup only three years away, stadium construction is well on track. Our own Green Point Stadium has been demolished, along with a neighbouring golf course to make way for one of the modern 2010 stadiums.

To give you a point of reference, this photo was taken from Signal Hill, facing Table Bay. Table Bay Harbour and the Cape Town Waterfront are just out of this shot, off to the right. Isn't this just the perfect location for a stadium?

The atmosphere around the World Cup is going to be awesome, so if you have the money to travel and if you love football, join us! Be sure to book your place early - accommodation will be booked up quickly and tickets will be sold out before you have a chance to reach for your wallet ;).

It is great to see that prime real estate locations are developed for public use. I am looking forward to seeing RSA in 2010!

I can relte! Near me, the city of Vancouver is host to the 2010 Winter Olympics. All over the area is undergoing improvements nd construction. It will all be very nice. In the meantime people are complaining about the expense when people are going homeless and hungry!

I agree about the site - simply stunning.
I'm really not into soccer (more cricket) but I know it will be the most exciting time for you all!!!
Soccer in Australia has come a long way since our best ever showing in a World Cup, last year in Germany!!!

Yay, indeed.
The view of the cranes during dawn with a setting sun looks awesome.
