The Royal Bafokeng Stadium is situated in Rustenburg in northwestern South Africa. It is located on the Highveld Plateau 1,500 metres above sea level and has a capacity of 42,000, making it the smallest World Cup stadium in South Africa.
As the stadium was only built in 1995 for the Rugby World Cup, only a few modernisation measures were required here. These included video screens, floodlights, a new sound system and an increase of its capacity to 42,000 seats.
