Whether you are Capetonian, overseas tourist or foreign media, to get a true taste of the 2010 feeling, as well as some fascinating factual information on the building process of the new Green Point Stadium, this is a must see for everyone..

The visitor centre at the Green Point Stadium, the 2010 Soccer World Cup stadium for Cape Town, currently under construction, has opened its doors to the public with a fantastic format.

A bigger than life virtual tour takes you through the finished stadium hosting the Cape Town soccer games in 2010.

The virtual tour of the 2010 stadium can be combined with the fascinating multi-media theatre performance of ‘The Greensman’.

Photographic exhibitions of Cape Town soccer history and South African soccer 'Greats', form part of the experience.

Choose your tour, you could either have a walk through tour of the stadium or the opportunity to oversee the stadium construction site from the viewing platform.

The tour of the stadium incorporates a short, but truly good performance taking you through the history of South Africa as well as the upcoming 2010 World Cup.

The Greensman theatre performance gives a thrilling insight in the South African and soccer history of the grounds on which the Green Point Stadium is built on.

The Green Point Stadium Visitor Centre is also running a 2010 lecture series (find this in our Cape Town events section ), which covers various aspects of the stadium and its construction - we can highly recommend these lectures. Have a look at our Greenpoint Stadium image gallery to get an idea of what you can expect.
