King Zwelithini Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Umlazi, a township south-west of Durban, South Africa. It is used mostly for football matches and was initially set to be utilized as a training field for teams participating in the 2010 FIFA World Cup after being renovated in 2010 and brought up to FIFA standards.^[2] However, since the participating teams were residing in the north of Durban, it was decided that King Zwelithini Stadium was located too far away for practice sessions.^[3]

The stadium's capacity was expanded from 5,000 to 10,000 as a lasting legacy of the World Cup.^[3]

The stadium is named after the Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu.
