King Zwelithini Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Umlazi, a suburb of Durban, South Africa. It is currently used mostly for football matches and was initially set to be utilized as a training field for teams participating in the 2010 FIFA World Cup after being renovated in 2010 and brought up to FIFA standards.[2] However, since teams would be residing in the north of Durban, it was decided that King Zwelithini Stadium was too far away for practice sessions.[3]
The stadium's capacity was expanded from 5,000 to 10,000 as a lasting legacy of the World Cup.[4]
The stadium is named after the Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu.
