25 Bucket-List Stadiums Around The World for Every Sports Fan Over 40

17. FNB Stadium – The Heart of South African Football (Johannesburg, South Africa)

Also known as Soccer City, this Johannesburg icon was the central stage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, where South Africa scored the tournament’s first goal and where Spain lifted their first-ever World Cup trophy. With a 94,000-seat capacity, its bowl-like structure is designed to resemble a traditional African calabash. FNB Stadium has hosted historic political events, including Nelson Mandela’s first speech after his release from prison and his memorial service. The atmosphere here during Kaizer Chiefs–Orlando Pirates matches is unrivaled in African football.
