Amakhosi Stadium

Kaizer Chiefs will become the first team in South Africa to own their own stadium when the 55 000 Seater Amakhosi Stadium is completed in April 2010.

The Amakhosi have used no less than 9 stadiums in Johannesburg as their home-ground. The new stadium which is being developed at a cost of R1.2 billion will be part of a greater sports precinct being developed which lies 40km West of Johannesburg.

The Amakhosi Stadium will be ready in April 2010, while the rest of the complex, which will include cricket and rugby stadiums, a sports hotel and a retail shopping centre — specializing in sports equipment — will be developed at a later stage.

The Gauteng Provincial Government will develop other infrastructures around the stadium such as road, rail and general public access to the stadium.
