It’s Rustenburg week here at GMB so I’m getting busy finding all of the sweet spots of this little city.
First things first – the stadium. The Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace will host Australia vs Ghana on the 20th of June.
The stadium opened in 1999 as a multi-purpose Track and Field/Field sports centre and had an upgrade (completed march 2009) which increased it’s capacity from 38,000 to 42,000 to host matches for the World Cup.
Not quite as flashy as Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium but I like stadiums with an Athletics track around them – brings me back lots of memories of my Athletics days!
