In Johannesburg, the FNB Stadium, also known as Soccer City, is a symbol of South Africa's passion for football and its role in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. This iconic stadium, with its unique calabash design, is a testament to the country's love for the sport. Nearby, the Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers a fascinating glimpse into the origins of humanity. Visitors can explore ancient caves and learn about the region's rich archaeological history. Together, the FNB Stadium and the Cradle of Humankind highlight South Africa's dual heritage, where the love for sports and the celebration of human history converge in a unique cultural experience.
