The first three days of competition will be at the venue, before the action moves to the Seshego Stadium from Saturday.

The semi-finals, third-place play-off and final will all be staged at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium as scheduled, with thew 2010 FIFA World Cup venue a fitting backdrop for the finale.
