Athlone Stadium will begin its anticipated revamp on Wednesday when the old pitch will be replaced with a new one.
The Athlone stadium will be utilised as a training venue for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Cape Town teams Ajax Cape Town and Santos currently use the venue for their home games but will now use alternate venues.
Ajax is expected to use Newlands stadium while Santos will play their home games in Coetzenberg near Stellenbosch.
Nick Whiteley, 2010 spokesperson said the grass pitch will be replaced by a “high quality World Cup standard pitch”, to be a training venue for the World Cup teams when they come out here.
“We see this as being a start of a new era for Cape Town football, especially with our teams doing so well now on the national front.”
