Explore the grand Moses Mabhida Stadium

AA high-tech sky car whisks visitors up the soaring grand arch to a viewing platform at its peak, to soak up 360-degree views of the seafront and the city. There's also a 500-stair adventure walk up the arch, which is sure to get football fans' hearts pumping.

If your heart, lungs and nerves are up to it, then tackle the Big Rush Big Swing − not only the world's only stadium swing, but also the biggest swing of any kind anywhere. It's even in the Guinness Book of Records. Leap into space 106m above the pitch and swing out in a mighty 220m arc under the iconic arch.

In January 2011, the stadium hosted a T20 cricket match between South Africa and India, which was attended by some 54 000 people, a record for a cricket match in Africa. The stadium also hosts live music concerts, festivals and all manner of events.

Named after a stalwart of the armed struggle against apartheid, it is estimated that the creation of the Moses Mabhida Stadium injected some R155 billion directly and indirectly into the Durban region, creating an impressive 14 000 jobs, which have positively impacted on low-income households.

A lively new urban recreation district with sports stores, a gym, a high-performance medical and training sports facility, restaurants, cocktail lounge and children's play area, as well as various entertainment options, is adjacent to the stadium, and has become a popular destination for locals and tourists.
