Venue

Loftus Versfeld Stadium Pretoria
Capacity: 51,762

Loftus Versfeld Stadium is one of Pretoria’s most iconic stadiums—a classic bowl with upgraded stands that turns match and concert days into a citywide occasion. With a capacity of over 51,000 seats, it’s widely recognised as a top-stage venue for elite rugby and football, built to handle major international events with ease.

Inside, the steeper seating tiers and clear sightlines keep you close to the action, while the crowd noise builds fast and carries well around the stadium. The experience is made smoother by practical amenities: multiple food-and-drink points, ample restrooms, and straightforward concourse routes that help you get in, move around, and return to your seat without hassle.

On the micro-location level, the venue sits in Arcadia, and the exact address to use is 416 Kirkness St, Arcadia, Pretoria, South Africa. On event days, you’ll typically follow signage and the flow of fans to the main access points along Kirkness Street, with nearby parking options and clearly marked pedestrian approaches; many visitors also use the short connection from Hatfield Gautrain Station to the stadium.

Frequently asked questions

What is the capacity of Loftus Versfeld Stadium?
Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria has an official capacity of 51,762 seats. This gives spectators a wide range of seating options, from premium tribunes near the field to upper rows with panoramic views. The capacity places Loftus Versfeld Stadium among the more important European venues for Nations Championship, and the atmosphere during big matches depends on how full the lower home-fan sectors are. Booking tickets early is recommended — the best-view sections sell out fastest.
Who is the home team?
The home team is South Africa, hosting this match at their Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria. Home fans traditionally shape match tempo, and South Africa averages more points at home than away. The visiting side Scotland faces the added challenge of travel and adaptation, which in elite competitions often means preparation without rest days between matches. Home-team status here also means the choice of dressing room and first warm-up access.
When is the match played?
The match is scheduled for 11. July 2026 at 17:40 local time in Pretoria. The local kickoff may differ from your time zone — being near the stadium two hours before kickoff is recommended for security checks and getting your bearings. Gates typically open 60 to 90 minutes before kickoff. If you're traveling from abroad, factor in arrival time given local public transport and possible congestion.
How much does a ticket cost?
Tickets for this match start at 50 € via Viagogo and other verified partners. The exact price depends on the sector, seat category (away, neutral, home, premium box) and demand, which rises closer to match day. Prices are in euros and include platform fees and mandatory buyer protection. The cheapest tickets are usually in upper away sectors, while premium box prices can be several times higher.
How do I buy tickets through Karlobag.eu?
Clicking the 'Buy tickets' button redirects you to our partner Viagogo where you safely complete the purchase.

We recommend arriving at least 60 minutes before kick-off. Detailed information about the location, nearest airport and hotels nearby is available in the stadium section on this page.
What happens if the match is postponed or cancelled?

If the match is cancelled entirely without rescheduling, Viagogo issues a refund per their policy (usually within 7-14 days). Check status directly with the seller — they notify you by email as soon as the decision is known.
Are the tickets authentic?
Yes, all tickets sold via the verified partners we work with (Viagogo, SportEvents365, Ticombo, StubHub and others) come with an authenticity guarantee and refund if the ticket isn't valid. If a ticket isn't authentic, doesn't arrive on time or is refused at the gate, the partner covers a full refund under their terms. We work exclusively with licensed resellers operating in accordance with European ticket purchase regulations.
