Located in Rustenburg in the North West Province, The Royal Bafokeng Stadium is a Rugby Union and football stadium. It was originally built as a venue for the 1995 Rugby World Cup. It was named after the Royal Bafokeng Nation.

Although originally built as a rugby stadium, the stadium has become more of a football stadium after the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Like most soccer stadiums in South Africa , the ground belongs to the municipality in the area. The Bafokeng people are extremely rich because of platinum mining in the area and on their cultural land and because of this, the stadium has been kept in very good repair.

The Stadium is well equipped and will be hoping to host the first and second round matches of the 2010 FIFA World Cup with a capacity of just over 40,000.
