The new soccer stadium from the 2010 World Cup and I also visited the new stadium in Durban.
Getting the World Cup is a huge deal. You have to have many world class stadiums in cities large enough to handle all the visitors. South Africa spent a fortune. They built five new stadiums and played in nine cities total.
Brazil will have it in 2014 and Russia in 2018. Now I see more clearly why all the controversy surrounding Qatar winning for 2022. They’ll need to accommodate hundreds of thousands of visitors, the temperatures during the tournament are highs always over 100 and lows in the 80s, what about the infrastructure of airports, roads, etc. It’ll be interesting.
