Which stadium hosted Spain's 2010 World Cup final win?
Answer
Soccer City
Answer
Soccer City
Spain won the 2010 World Cup final at Soccer City in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The match took place on 11 July 2010, with Spain defeating the Netherlands 1–0 after extra time. Andrés Iniesta scored the decisive goal in the 116th minute, giving Spain its first men’s World Cup title.
Soccer City was the tournament’s most prominent venue and hosted both the opening match and the final. The stadium is also known as FNB Stadium and was built or extensively renovated for the 2010 tournament. Its Johannesburg location made it one of the competition’s defining landmarks.
A common mix-up is Ellis Park, another Johannesburg stadium that hosted seven matches during the tournament. Soccer City and Ellis Park were both high-altitude venues, but only Soccer City hosted the final. Spain’s victory also made it the first European team to win a World Cup held outside Europe.
