Home to Central Cheetahs, Free State Cheetahs (rugby), Bloemfontein Celtic (football) Trivia Building work was dogged by a series of strikes, the longest of which lasted a fortnight. It is also known as Vodacom Park.
The 45,000 capacity ground, which in total will host five group games and one second-round tie, will be rocking in June. The crackling atmosphere will be fuelled by the supporters of local side Bloemfontein Celtic, who sport distinctive green-and-white hooped shirts, just like their namesakes in Scotland.
