Bloemfontain Stadium

Home to some of the country’s most fanatical group of
supporters, the Free State Stadium is likely to be the centre of
attention during the FIFA World Cup™. The stadium was given a
plush new look for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup . It hosted
the memorable semi-final match between Spain and USA where the
latter secured one of the biggest surprises of the tournament by
sending the European champions packing in front of a capacity
crowd.
