“Today’s opening of the stadium is a huge credit to the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality. It’s a tribute to their project management capability, the construction company and the workers that they managed to complete the stadium in record time. It demonstrates the capacity of SA’s construction industry and our commitment to deliver on all our 2010 FIFA World Cup promises,” said Jordaan. 
We went out and got what the residents of Nelson Mandela Bay think about what hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in their city means to them and the city they live in, in their own words……………

The Nelson Mandela Bay Metropole consists of Port Elizabeth, Uitenhage and Despatch. Port Elizabeth has long been recognised for its friendly people, gorgeous stretches of pristine coastline and relaxed ambience. Port Elizabeth is one of the Host Cities for the 2010 World Cup™ that required a brand new stadium to be built in order to accommodate the influx of fans as well as the games that will be played here. There were some doubts expressed about the financing and the timing of such a stadium but, in true Nelson Mandela Bay style, this Host City has surpassed expectations in its own quiet dignity. 
"I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die".(Nelson Mandela)
The people of Nelson Mandela Bay are sports-mad outdoor people: they indulge in rugby, cricket and every type of watersport imaginable. And soccer, soccer, soccer. Of course, enjoying wonderful sunny weather approximately 350 days of the year does encourage an active lifestyle.
The exclusive Shamwari Townhouse, situated in Port Elizabeth on the Southeast coast of South Africa, sets a new standard in discreet and elegant boutique accommodation. Step into a world of unsurpassed sophistication and excellence. Nestled in the affluent beachfront suburb of Summerstrand, Shamwari Townhouse is less than ten minutes from the airport and within 100 meters of the rolling Indian Ocean.
The club also runs an annual junior soccer tournament for all the junior age groups, in the first week of the June school holidays.
