Four cities will serve as the venues of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Bloemfontein and Rustenburg.Originally, Port Elizabeth's Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium was also chosen as a venue. However, on 8 July 2008, Port Elizabeth withdrew as a host city because its stadium was deemed unlikely to meet the 30 March 2009 deadline for completion. But it has been completed 11 months before the 2010 World Cup.All of these stadia are to host matches during the British and Irish Lions tour which will be in progress during this tournament, but a minimum of 9 days has been allowed for pitch recovery between a rugby match and a football match.
