The Rand Stadium is a stadium in Rosettenville. It was set to be utilized as a training field for teams participating in the 2010 FIFA World Cup after being completely rebuilt and reopened in August 2008.
Despite the relatively small capacity, it is regarded as one of the best playing surfaces in the country.
Rand Stadium was constructed between 1949 and 1951 with a capacity of 15,000.
Over time extensive renovations have been carried out, the first between 1964 and 1965 in which facilities were added, and the second in 1976 that saw the installation of floodlights.
The now 30,000-seater is also the training ground for Orlando Pirates.
