Royal Bafokeng Stadium

Royal Bafokeng Stadium, Sports stadium in Phokeng, South Africa.

Royal Bafokeng Stadium is a soccer, rugby and athletics ground in Phokeng, about 12 km from Rustenburg, built and run by the Royal Bafokeng Nation. Its capacity rose from 38,000 to 44,530 for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, when the main west stand was enlarged and given a cantilever roof, alongside new seats, electronic scoreboards, floodlights and a public address system.

Built in 1999, originally for rugby, the stadium was upgraded and completed in March 2009 to host four matches of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup. Its capacity was then raised from 38,000 to 44,530 for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, where it staged five first-round matches and one second-round match.

The stadium is owned and operated by the Royal Bafokeng Nation, an autonomous community that has invested in sports as part of their development priorities. It serves as a gathering place for locals and draws visitors from across the country and beyond.

The stadium is located along R565 Sun City Road and offers parking facilities with multiple entrance gates for convenient access. It is advisable to arrive early during major events to avoid congestion at entry points.

The stadium was built and is managed by the Royal Bafokeng Nation, and its name comes from the Bafokeng tribe that lives in the area. In December 2019 Cassper Nyovest held his fifth "Fill Up" concert here before more than 40,000 people.
