The picturesque town of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape is set to be a popular attraction during the 2010 World Cup, hosted by South Africa next year. The University of Stellenbosch and local council are making big preparations for the world’s most popular sports tournament. These preparations are in place to accommodate tourists and soccer fans, and also visiting teams, who are expected to spend time in the scenic university town during the games.

The Greater Stellenbosch 2010 project is helping the town to reach its true potential – as a world-class tourism destination and first-rate collection of sporting facilities. Local businesses, together with the town council, intend to create a home away from home for foreign visitors and sports people.
