Peter Mokaba Stadium, Polokwane

The Peter Mokaba Stadium is situated in Polokwane (Pietersburg), the capital of Limpopo, South Africa. It currently serves as a football stadium and as an international athletics venue. The stadium comprises only a main stand and three grass banks at the moment, but is upgraded in preparation for the 2010 FIFA™ World Cup.

The roof over the existing west stand of the Peter Mokaba Stadium will be removed and replaced by a roof that covers the entire western stand of the new Stadium. An additional 20 rows of seating will be built around the entire stadium to increase capacity to 40,000. In addition to the structural work, the Peter Mokaba stadium will be provided with first rate equipment, including an electronic scoreboard in the northern stand, new floodlights, sound system and a fire detection and protection system.
