Of the ten stadiums, five are to be upgraded – with one of them, Soccer City in Johannesburg, being given a major upgrade. The other five will be constructed afresh.
The national government has – in addition to the money already dispersed to host cities for planning – allocated a total of R8.4-billion for stadiums, broken down into:
R7.62-billion for stadium construction and upgrading
R0.58-billion for the supply of utilities and services to the stadiums
R0.20-billion for overlay items at each stadium
The R8,4-billion set aside for stadiums will be spread over four years:
R600 000 000 for the 2006/07 financial year
R1 260 672 000 for the 2007/08 financial year
R3 600 000 000 for the 2008/09 financial year
