Port Elizabeth's brand new 50 000-seat stadium will host its first match, a friendly between Bafana Bafana and Okada Japan, at which Japan's new blue uniform will be worn for the first time.
South African Tourism Japan country manager, Bradley Brouwer, said: "It is a great honour that Port Elizabeth's wonderful new stadium, named after our first democratically elected president, has been chosen to premier the Japanese football teams' new colours. I would like to join the Japanese team and their supporters in a big cheer for their wonderful new Samurai blue jerseys.”
