Matches Durban FIFA 2010
Six games and one semi final played in a masterpiece of architecture on South Africa's playground
Durban, found in the KwaZulu Natal Province in the north east of South Africa, was the host for the Preliminary Draw that was held on the 25 November 2007.
The draw determined which teams will play against each other in the epic 2010 Soccer World Cup.
Durban has hosted many international events in the past including the quarter and semi final games in the CAF African Cup of Nations as well as the South Africa vs. England in 2003 which helped to launch the bid for South Africa to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The uniquely designed Durban soccer stadium will have two large archways that will arc a hundred meters above the stadium.
The soccer stadium is set to have a seating capacity of 70,000 supporters, is well under way and will be completed in October 2009.
Durban will play host to seven fixtures during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
