Danie Craven Stadium

Danie Craven Stadium, Rugby union stadium in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

Danie Craven Stadium is a rugby union ground in Stellenbosch forming part of Stellenbosch University's sports facilities. Built in 1979, it stands on a portion of the old Coetsenburg Estate, founded by Dirk Coetsee in 1682 after a land grant from Cape governor Simon van der Stel. It holds 16,000 people and is named after Springbok scrum half and rugby administrator Danie Craven.

The stadium is home to Maties, Stellenbosch University's rugby team, and has hosted the Varsity Cup, South Africa's inter-university tournament, since 2008. Maties won the first three finals there, in 2008, 2009 and 2010, and the ground also hosted the 1995 Rugby World Cup match between Australia and Romania.
