Green Point Stadium
The Green Point Stadium is located between Signal Hill and the Atlantic Ocean, close to the Cape Town city centre and to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, a popular tourist and shopping venue. It has been transformed into a completely new all-weather, multi-purpose, environmentally sustainable, modern, technologically advanced, world class Stadium giving expression to the “African Renaissance” at the juncture between Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean at the southern tip of Africa.
