The final 10 stadiums to be utilised for the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa: Five of South Africa's football stadiums will undergo major renovations for 2010: Soccer City and Ellis Park in Johannesburg, Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria, the Royal Bafokeng stadium in Rustenburg in North West Province and the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein in the Free State.

New stadiums have been built at Mbombela in Mpumalanga and in the Nelson Mandela Metro (encompassing Port Elizabeth) in the Eastern Cape. Peter Mokaba stadium in Polokwane in Limpopo has been rebuilt, as will the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban and Cape Town's Green Point stadium, Green Point complete with a retractable dome to protect fans and players from the Cape's unpredictable winter weather.

Five stunning new stadiums have been built in South Africa, and another five refurbished, in preparation for the World Cup next month. Take a look around !
