List of African stadiums by capacity

The following is an incomplete list of sports stadiums in Africa. They are ordered by their capacity, that is the maximum number of spectators the stadium can accommodate. Most large stadiums in Africa are used for Soccer, with some also used for Athletics and Rugby League. Currently all African stadiums with a capacity of 30,000 or more are included. The FNB Stadium in Johannesburg will become the largest stadium in Africa when its capacity is increased to 95,000 for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. This will be the first time an African country has hosted the World Cup. The Olympic Games have never been staged in Africa.
