Coca Cola Park

Coca-Cola Park, formerly known as Ellis Park Stadium, is a rugby union stadium in Johannesburg, Gauteng Province.  It hosted the RWC Final in 1995, which was won by the country's national team, the Springbok.

 

In 2005 Coca-Cola Park made history by becoming the first black owned stadium in South Africa. The Golden Lions Rugby Union passed the management of the Ellis Park Precinct to a company with 51% black ownership. Interza Lesego, Orlando Pirates FC and Ellis World of Sport (Pty) Ltd make up the new management of the Ellis Park Precinct.
