The design of the stadium complies with all Fifa requirements and standards. Construction will begin once the decision once the host African nation for 2010 World Cup has been made. It is due to be completed by June 2007.
The SA Football Association has already approved the plans and a land-availability agreement has been signed with the metro.
In addition, two township stadiums, the Chevrolet and New Brighton stadiums, will also get a R1,7 million upgrade.
