Ellis-Park-Stadium, JohannesburgCapacity: 60000 (after modification)Built in: 1982 
Ellis-Park was built in 1928 as a rugby stadium.
It was demolished in 1982 and built up again, just for rugby games.

who approved the utilization of the ground for the stadium.
The final of the Rugby World Cup 1995 took place at Ellis-Park.The stadium also experienced unforgatable soccer games. In 1995 South Africa played against Argentina 1:1 and in 2000 they played 0:0 against France, which was a big prosperity for soccer in S.A.
