Green Point Stadium, Professional sports stadium in Green Point, Cape Town, South Africa
Green Point Stadium is a professional sports venue in Cape Town with a distinctive curved white exterior and retractable roof system. The facility sits between Signal Hill and the Atlantic Ocean shoreline, accommodating large crowds for various events.
The original facility opened in 1897 with a cycling track for athletic events before being demolished in 2007. It was rebuilt as a modern venue specifically for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, transforming the local sports landscape.

The original facility saw cyclist Jack Rose set multiple world records during events in 1898 and 1899, establishing his reputation in the international cycling community. These achievements represent some of the earliest sporting highlights at this location.
