Stadia Spotlight: Angola, African Cup of Nations 2010
You might notice the cheeky slight change to our weekly stadium feature’s name — we’ve pluralised it as we are looking at more than one this week. We feature the renderings for the four new, impressive stadiums being built in Angola for the African Cup of Nations 2010, to be held in January.
Luanda
Capacity: 40,000
Stadium name: Estádio Cidade Universitária

As the tournament gets closer, we’ll report on the final stages of stadium construction, but it looks as if — for a country torn apart by civil war for most of the past three decades — it will have beautiful stadia to host the Cup. And plenty of running tracks for use afterwards. . .

No doubts about it – these look very beautiful. I sure hope all goes smoothly with using them.
