Coca Cola Park (Ellis Park) is a major football venue in South
Africa. It has been ear-marked as a semi-final venue for the 2010
South Africa World Cup. The Stadium will be undergoing major renovations to
fullfill all the FIFA™ requirements. Once completed, new upper tiers will
be behind each goal, adding an extra 10 000 seats and bringing the seating
capacity to the required 70 000. Coca Cola Park will then meet all requirements to be
accepted as a semi-final match venue.
Furthermore, the Greater Coca Cola Park precinct will receive a multi-million rand
upgrade over the next five years - a move expected to sell the area as a place
that is ready to host the 2010 Soccer World Cup and, hopefully, the 2011 Rugby
World Cup. The R2-billion upgrade is also expected to attract investment.
