When South Africa was chosen to host the 2010 World Cup and Cape Town needed a new stadium, a group of Fifa officials flew over the city, pointed to a golf course on Green Point and said: “Build it there.”
Two years later, the golf course has been moved and the new Cape Town Stadium is ready for action.
Built in natural colours to avoid sun-bleaching, its backdrop is Table Mountain and you have to admit, FIFA bigwigs got this one spot-on. If there’s a better setting for a football stadium anywhere in the world, then I’d love to see it.
