With its warm climate and great facilities, Durban was a much wished-for destination for the group matches. The stadium, named after one of the working-class heroes of the nation, has been recently built and holding 70,000, the design is based on the national flag with its idea of unifying a diverse nation. Durban is a popular destination for tourists and if the beaches, surfing and warm tropical waters are not entertainment enough, then visitors can explore UShaka Marine World – the largest underwater themed park in Africa or visit various UNESCO World Heritage sites.
