HM Pitje Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located in Mamelodi, a suburb of City of Tshwane, South Africa. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is set to be utilized as a training field for teams participating in the 2010 FIFA World Cup after being renovated in 2009 and brought up to FIFA standards.
In the past, it was the part-time home stadium of Mamelodi Sundowns who now play at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
The stadium was named after Hezekiel Mothibe Pitje, the first mayor of Mamelodi.
Famous quotes containing the word stadium:
“It’s no accident that of all the monuments left of the Greco- Roman culture the biggest is the ballpark, the Colosseum, the Yankee Stadium of ancient times.”
