In 2010, South Africa will host Africa’s first Fédération Internationale de Football Association
(FIFA) World Cup. This will require the refurbishment and development of new stadia and an
objective in this development is to continue with the Green Goal initiative developed for the 2006
FIFA World Cup. This is being addressed this by the Review of the Greening Status of the Stadia
for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa project commissioned the Republic of South Africa’s
Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEAT). This project is being undertaken by
Green by Design (GbD), Paul Carew Consulting (PjC) and the South African Council for Industrial
and Scientific Research (CSIR) and aims to review the sustainability initiatives that have been
included in the 2010 FIFA World Cup stadia. It also aims to identify gaps in sustainability
performance and provide recommendations on how these may be addressed.
Purpose of this paper – The purpose of this paper is to review the process undertaken by the
review team in assessing the sustainability performance of the stadia with particular focus on the
use of the Sustainable Building Assessment Tool (SBAT) for Stadia.
Methodology/Scope – The SBAT was adapted through the development of a set of indicators that
would support the assessment of the sustainable performance of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™
stadia, and used in assessments.
Findings – This paper presents the initial findings of the process of assessing the 2010 FIFA World
Cup™ stadia using the SBAT for Stadia as for the Review of the Greening Status of the Stadia for
the 2010 World Cup in South Africa project.
Value – The SBAT for Stadia enables not only the environmental issues to be considered but also
ensures that socio-economic issues are included, as important local concerns.
