Add article description

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]
