[4] The stadium is located in Green Point, between Signal Hill and the Atlantic Ocean, close to the Cape Town city center and to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, a popular tourist and shopping venue.

[2] With effect from June 2021, the City of Cape Town as owner of the stadium, through a municipal entity, concluded a multi-year sponsorship agreement with DHL for a period of four years, from 2021 to 2025.

[10] In this regard, Peter-John Veldhuizen, chairperson of the Board of the Cape Town Stadium (RF) Soc Ltd said: "DHL’s contribution as our naming rights partner has certainly made a significant impact on the bottom line of the business".

Later used mainly for soccer matches, it was the home ground of Santos Football Club and Ajax Cape Town at different points.

In 33 months, joint venture contractors Murray & Roberts, now known as Concor and WBHO completed the project at a cost of R4.4billion – or approximately US$600million.

The structural engineers comprised a joint venture between BKS, Henry Fagan & Partners, KFD Wilkinson, Goba, Iliso and Arcus Gibb.

[15] The pedestrian route from the central city to the stadium was designated as the Fanwalk, highlighting local businesses and providing entertainment, while promoting crowd safety.

[16][17] A consortium consisting of South Africa's Sail Group and French-based Stade de France were awarded the service contract to operate the stadium and ensure that it remains a sustainable multi-purpose venue after the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

[19] Following the World Cup, temporary rows of seating on either side on the top tier were replaced by events suites and clubrooms, reducing the stadium's capacity to 58,300.

[21] The Greenpoint Park was completed within a year of the World Cup ending as was promised to the people of Cape Town during the public consultation process preceding stadium construction.

The park has since become one of Cape Town's most popular recreational facilities and has acted as a catalyst for significant improvements to surrounding buildings and spaces through spontaneous private sector investment.

[22] Due to the stadium's ongoing financial problems, the City of Cape Town had sought to acquire Western Province rugby as an "anchor tenant".

The Soccer Festival had entertainment from local band Freshlyground and a Vuvuzela orchestra performance during half time.

Cape Town Stadium hosted its third test event on Monday 22 March, during which all 55,000 permanent seats were available for the first time.

This was the first time that the stadium was utilised at night, for the International Under-20 Soccer Challenge between South Africa, Brazil, Nigeria and Ghana.

Prior to 2021, the stadium hosted several Stormers matches when they couldn't play at their previous home ground in Newlands.

During their first season at their new home, the Stormers defeated their South African rivals, the Bulls, to win the URC Final at the stadium.

In July 2022, the Springboks defeated Wales in what was South African lock Eben Etzebeth's 100th test for the national team.

The doubles match consisted Roger Federer and American tycoon Bill Gates versus Rafael Nadal and South African entertainer Trevor Noah.

[43][44][45] However, beginning in 2021, use of Cape Town Stadium increased significantly when it became the home ground of Western Province Rugby and the DHL Stormers.
