FIFA 2010 World Cup - Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium Hotels

FIFA World Cup 2010 - Stadiums and Hotels

As the FIFA 2010 World Cup draws closer, many football fans will be starting their preparations for the long journey to South Africa that is ahead of them. There will be laughter, tears, anger, joy and desperation as the groups and games play out – but none of this will happen without a match ticket or suitable accommodation.

With thousands of football fans from across the globe travelling to South Africa to see the FIFA World Cup, finding a hotel that doesn’t overcharge or isn’t fully-booked can be difficult. Local business people will attempt to capitalise on the huge boom in football fans looking to find hotels, so it may be inevitable that you have to spend a little extra on your accommodation next summer.

Port Elizabeth – Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium

The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, located in the city of Port Elizabeth, will play host to many of the opening ties and well as a quarter final and the 3rd/4th place playoff of the FIFA 2010 World Cup.

The 46,500 capacity stadium is a new build, constructed for the sole purpose of hosting the World Cup and enjoys many of the mod-cons that you would expect in a newly built stadium.

England will play their third a final group game at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium against Slovenia. The fixture will take place on June 23rd 2010 and will hopefully see England finish the group stages in top-spot.

Make sure you shop around before you book your hotel room. Hoteliers are likely to raise their prices tenfold, so have a thorough search to ensure you get the best value for your accommodation.
