Ellis Park stadium, Johannesburg

A famous rugby stadium first built in 1928 and reconstructed in 1982, it has been upgraded.

Used for finals of the 1995 rugby World Cup, when Nelson Mandela's appearance in a Springbok jersey to support the winning national team had a profound impact in winning over the country's reluctant whites a year after the end of apartheid.

Capacity nearly 62,000. Seven matches, including a quarter-final.
