Hallowed Turf: Soccer City Stadium 

Monday, 14 Dec 2020

Vuvuzelas, Waka Waka, Zakumi and Jabulanis. In the first FIFA World Cup to be held on the African continent, a Spain team laden with stars such as Andres Iniesta, David Villa and Xavi triumphed at the global finals for the first time in 2010. At the heart of all the drama, passion and exhilaration in South Africa had been one truly special stadium: Soccer City. From Siphiwe Tshabalala’s thunderbolt to Luis Suarez's handball against Ghana, the stadium was the setting of huge World Cup moments.
