Pietermaritzburg Stadium Opens

A new stadium has been completed in Pietermaritzburg. The stadium won't be uised for any games during the World Cup, but locals are hoping to lure teams to the city to use the new facility as a training ground.

The stadium is one of several legacy projects for 2010 and can be used for training by any of the visiting World Cup teams, said KwaZulu-Natal cooperative governance MEC Nomusa Dube.

“We are currently lobbying a number of teams to locate in the province for the World Cup,” Dube said.
