About FNB Stadium
The FNB Stadium (First National Bank Stadium), also known as Soccer City, is a stadium located in Nasrec, bordering the Soweto area of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is the home of Kaizer Chiefs F.C. and the South African national football team. It famously hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final between the Netherlands and Spain.
With a capacity of 94,736, it is the largest stadium in Africa. The exterior design is inspired by the shape of an African pot, the calabash. The cladding is a mosaic of fire and earthen colors with a ring of lights running around the bottom of the structure, simulating fire underneath the pot.
It was the site of Nelson Mandela's first speech in Johannesburg after his release from prison in 1990 and also the venue for his memorial service in 2013. The stadium is a symbol of modern South Africa and continues to host major sporting and cultural events, including concerts by global superstars.
