FIFA 2010 World Cup - Stadiums and Hotels

As the FIFA 2010 World Cup draws closer, many football fans will be starting their preparations for the long journey to South Africa that is ahead of them. There will be laughter, tears, anger, joy and desperation as the groups and games play out – but none of this will happen without a match ticket or suitable accommodation.

With thousands of football fans from across the globe travelling to South Africa to see the FIFA World Cup, finding a hotel that doesn’t overcharge or isn’t fully-booked can be difficult. Local business people will attempt to capitalise on the huge boom in football fans looking to find hotels, so it may be inevitable that you have to spend a little extra on your accommodation next summer.

Rustenburg - Royal Bafokeng Sports Stadium

Located in Rustenburg, the Royal Bafokeng Sports Stadium has undergone redevelopment to enhance the maximum capacity from 38,000 to 42,000 in time for the FIFA 2010 World Cup.

The stadium will play host to four first round ties, including England’s opening match against the USA on June 12th, so make a date in your dairies. If you’re planning to head out to South Africa next summer, finding and booking a hotel online will save you lots of headaches.

If England qualify top of Group C then the Royal Bafokeng Sports Stadium in Rustenburg will be the location of England’s second round fixture against the runners-up of Group D. The second round match will take place on June 26th 2010 at 20:30.

Make sure you shop around before you book your hotel room. Hoteliers are likely to raise their prices tenfold, so have a thorough search to ensure you get the best value for your accommodation.
