Located in Cape Town's central Green Point district, a stone's-throw away from the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Green Point Stadium will host five first round matches, one second round, one quarter-final and one semi-final. Also known as the African Renaissance Stadium, this is an all-weather, multi-purpose stadium that can hold 70 000 people. It is environmentally sustainable, modern, technologically advanced, world class and completely matches up to FIFATM Match Stadium requirements. It consists of five levels plus the roof and includes parking levels, team rooms, a VIP reception, media areas, FIFATM offices, fan shops, a business club, a multi-purpose hall, security and police offices, kitchens and VIP lounges. This US$287-million project was created by GMP Architects, Louis Karol Architects and Point Architects.

In order to effectively protect and waterproof the concrete in the seating stands, Penetron Admix was selected to treat the stitching between the precast seating. Therefore a total of 1100m3 of concrete treated with Penetron Admix was poured on this iconic project site.
