The Moses Mabhida Stadium, the venue for five group matches, one second-round game and a semi-final, is a sumptuous, newly-built 70,000 arena close to the Indian Ocean in the Stamford Hill district to the north of downtown. Along with the Green Point in Cape Town, this three-tier wonder is the most visually breathtaking of the World Cup 2010 venues, with its focal point being the Wembley-like arch, along which a cable car will run.
Frequent buses will shuttle back and forth between the city centre and the Moses Mabhida - named after an anti-apartheid campaigner - on match days, while park-and-ride facilities will be sited at a number of Durban's main shopping malls.
