When it was decided that the FIFA World Cup 2010 would be held at South Africa, Rustenburg was only a natural choice as host city. The Royal Bafokeng Stadium, which is 12 kilometers away from the city centre, is the smallest of the 10 stadiums across 9 cities where world cup matches will be held, but it can never be overlooked. Named after the people of the Bafokeng tribe who live in the region, the facilities are ultra modern and fit to host such a mega event. This is not a new stadium, but it has been enlarged and upgraded with new electronic scoreboards, a cantilever roof, better floodlights, public address system and new seats.
The city of Rustenburg in North Western South Africa is among the most beautiful cities in the country with many tourist attraction so it is expected that a huge number of people will come to the city and also be on the lookout for Royal Bafokeng Stadium football tickets.

Truly, Rustenburg is a serious tourist destination where thousands come every year both from South Africa itself and much further afield.
