This is another venue which teams were keen to get, due to it being at sea-level, and a mere fifteen minutes drive away from hotels and accommodation. The brand-new state-of-the-art stadium seats 44,000 with an additional 4,000 seats available for the tournament. Named after probably the most famous South African in the world, the stadium affords spectacular views over North End Lake. Visitors can enjoy miles of unspoilt beaches, a trip to the Ado National Park for some big game viewing or browse through The Boardwalk Casino and Entertainment World on Port Elizabeth’s beachfront – despite the title, it’s actually rather stylish.
