This blog will serve as a diary covering the construction of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ football stadium in Port Elizabeth/Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa as well as looking at progress on the other 2010 stadiums.
The following pictures of Moses Mabhida Stadium, Peter Mokaba Stadium and Mbombela Stadium all show stadia nearing completion. For the most part, across the country, seating is going in and pitch preparation is underway. Our stadia our structurally complete with just landscaping and finishing touches still to be done. It is quite astonishing to think of all the work that has gone into the preparations. 4 years ago, if I had said that in 4 years time there would be 6 new gleaming stadiums dotting the country, I'm sure many would've laughed at me. Yet here's the proof. All pictures courtesy of Tadpolefarm, SkyscraperCity.
The beatiful, perfectly African Mbombela Stadium. What a setting!

I am a student doing a BSc degree at Rhodes University.
I created this blog to chart South Africa's progress in its preparations for the greatest show on Earth. This show is now complete so I leave you with possibly the best 2010 preparation diary on the web. Enjoy.
