The world's best designed sports stadiums 2016

Moses Mabhida, South Africa

The stunningly designed Moses Mabhida Stadium is based in Durban, South Africa. Its stand out feature is the colossal arches reaching across the top, somewhat similar in looks to Wembley Stadium in London.  The arches are 350m long and 105m high, and represent the once divided nation coming together, inspired by the South African Flag.  

Along with the beautiful modern design of the stadium, guests can enjoy stunning views of Durban once they reach the top. It is used for big events and has hosted many football matches during the 2010 FIFA World Cup using its impressive capacity of 62,000.
