Stellenbosch Fc Get Massive R395 Million Investment Boost Ahead Of Zamalek Caf Tie

Stellenbosch FC continues to break new ground both on and off the pitch.

With the playing squad currently in Egypt ahead of a historic second-leg CAF Confederation Cup clash against African powerhouse Zamalek on Wednesday, the club have announced plans to develop and operate a new multi-million-rand stadium at the Van der Stel Sports Complex.

Stellenbosch FC have encountered numerous challenges this past season in relation to their home games, particularly in the CAF Confederation Cup.

Stellies have played home matches in both Pretoria and Durban due to the Danie Craven Stadium, Athlone Stadium and DHL Stadium not being available for football in the Western Cape at any given time.

While it is unlikely that the Van der Stel Sports Complex will host matches of such magnitude with the football facilities set to include a 5 000-seat stadium - upgradable to 10,000 seats in future phases - it will also consist of four international standard full-size grass football fields, and six multi-purpose small-sided fields/courts.
