The South African Football Association and a number of other sports governing bodies briefed Parliament’s Sports Portfolio Committee today on the sustainability of South Africa’s World Cup stadiums post 2010.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality said the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth is said to make a profit of R1.3 million by the year 2011, if everything goes according to plan.

The stadium will host five Super 15 pre-season games every year as well as the Tri-Nations match between the Springboks and New Zealand.

Nelson Mandela Bay is still searching for a suitable soccer team to use the venue.
