World Cup 2010 Stadia

When South Africa won the 2010 Fifa World Cup™ they presented 13 stadia as potential match venues. Of these seven only needed minor improvements and three were due to be built.

Currently it is expected that only 10 will be used which compares to 20 in Korea / Japan 2002 and 12 in Germany 2006.

Here's the list that was set out at the presentation stage. We'll try and refine it asap.
