Peter Mokaba Stadium

 The Peter Mokaba Stadium is a football stadium in Polokwane (formerly Pietersburg), South Africa, that will be used for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. When completed in 2010 it will have a capacity of 46,000.It was named after Peter Mokaba, a former leader of the ANC Youth League. It is located 5 kilometers from the city centre and is located just east of the existing Pietersburg Stadium
The stadium is one of five new stadiums that will be built for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Initial plans to upgrade the current Peter Mokaba Stadium were abandoned in favour of the R1,245,000,000 (ZAR) new Peter Mokaba stadium.
The stadium will be used intensely for training and matches. Therefore the natural grass will be reinforced with artificial fibres, which anchors the field into a stable and a level grass surface: Desso GrassMaster.
The first international game played at the stadium was the game between South Africa and Guatemala on 31 May 2010, wich South Africa won 5-0
