Soshanguve Giant Stadium, commonly referred to as Giant, is a multi-purpose stadium located in Soshanguve, a township of Pretoria, South Africa. It was utilized as a training field for teams participating in the 2010 FIFA World Cup after being rebuilt in 2009.[1] Besides serving as a training venue for the World Cup, it was also used as a public viewing area for residents to watch matches.[2]
Currently the stadium is the home for JDR Stars F.C.[3] and Soshanguve Sunshine F.C., playing in the North West Province of Vodacom League. However, the stadium is situated a few kilometers within the border of the Gauteng province.
