The Johannesburg Stadium is a versatile, multi-purpose sports facility located in the Ellis Park World of Sports Precinct in Doornfontein, Johannesburg. Primarily used for athletics, soccer, and rugby, it is a key venue within this well-known sports hub that also includes Ellis Park Stadium, home to major rugby events, and other sports facilities.
History: The stadium was originally constructed in the early 1990s to serve as a venue for large sporting events, particularly athletics and football. Its initial design was intended to complement the neighboring Ellis Park Stadium, creating a comprehensive sports complex that could accommodate various national and international events.
While the Johannesburg Stadium primarily caters to athletics, it has also hosted numerous other events over the years, including football matches and concerts. In the early 2000s, it was a popular venue for both local and international artists, attracting large audiences due to its size and central location in Johannesburg.
The stadium has seating capacity for 37,500 spectators, making it one of the larger venues in Johannesburg. It has been used for important events such as athletics meets, community events, and, from time to time, overflow events from Ellis Park.
