says their choice to host the event at the stadium will cost over R100 million less and be more inclusive to the public.It is also the venue where high profile Premier Soccer League matches take place. The 1995 Rugby World Cup , the 2009 Fifa Confederations Cup and the round of 16 games of the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup, are among the some of the big sporting events that have been hosted at the stadium.
Hugo Kemp, from Loftus Versveld management, says, “It’s an absolute pleasure and privilege to host this event. We’ve had many major international events but this I think is the cherrie on top. It’s even bigger and better than the world cup, so we are just privileged to be part of this process and this great event.”
Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma says, “The venue as you know is Loftus Versveld stadium instead of the Union Buildings and the choice of the venue was determined by a number of factors like the cost, because preparing the Amphitheater is more costly than hiring the stadium.” Park and ride facilities will be at the Tshwane Events Centre for those driving themselves and accreditation will be at the local Affies School next to the stadium.
