The Cape Town Stadium has been put to its biggest test recently ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The newly refurbished stadium hosted over 50 000 people yester in a religious meeting.

The gathering is the third event to held at the stadium which is one of the host venues for the soccer spectacular.

The stadium has already hosted two major test events however reports say Sunday will be the first time the upper third tiers of the stadium will be used.

This means the stadium full 55 000 capacity will be filled.

Stadium operators said the event has gone off without any hitches so far.
