About Mbombela Stadium

Mbombela Stadium sits in Mataffin, Mbombela (formerly Nelspruit), Mpumalanga, South Africa. As a premier multi‑purpose venue, it hosts football and rugby, including matches for the South African national teams and PSL rugby/home games for TS Galaxy since 2020. The stadium is famous for being one of the 2010 FIFA World Cup venues and continues to welcome big events with robust facilities and reliable access. We’ve got you covered with practical seating, parking, transit options, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations to help you secure your seats with ease.

Mbombela Stadium features a three‑tier bowl seating arrangement with about 21,000 seats in the lower tier, 3,500 in the middle, and 19,000 in the upper tier, totaling a capacity of 43,500 all-seater. Most seats are under cover (approximately 94%), providing comfort in varying weather. On‑site parking accommodates roughly 4,500 vehicles, and for major events, park‑and‑ride options offer a convenient alternative. Transit is streamlined via a dedicated park‑and‑ride bus system serving Riverside Parking, Public Transport Hub, Valencia, and Show Grounds; match tickets also function as bus tickets. Mbombela Stadium is a trusted home for TS Galaxy in the Premiership and the Pumas in the Currie Cup, drawing fans from across Mpumalanga and beyond.
