Keep exploring Johannesburg with our travel partners.
The stadium offers a sporting counterpoint to Soweto’s heritage museums. Originally built in 1975, it forms part of the area’s football infrastructure and was renovated before the 2010 World Cup. Its visitor value depends on a match, another event or an arranged visit, so it needs a specific purpose in your plans.
What to look for
The sports ground was originally built in 1975.
Renovation in 2009 forms part of its pre-World Cup history.
Useful to know
Check the official event’s entry rules and gate arrangements before setting out.
Ask Stadium Management South Africa about an arranged visit if you are not attending an event.
