Offices to be used by FIFA and the 2010 local organising committee (LOC) were opened in Johannesburg on January 31st, slightly behind schedule but by the look of things, well worth the wait.
The offices, owned by the South Africa Football Association (SAFA), are based next to Soccer City has 100 offices, a canteen, a bar and three meeting rooms that can be converted into one large hall if needs must.
The structure was designed by South African firms Boogertman and Partners and Urban Edge Architects, it is a technologically smart building built on environmentally sound principles.
An impressive feature of the dome is a 45 foot football roof of the main entrance hall. The football dome will be lit at night and visible from the air and the ground as a defining landmark for the city of Johannesburg.
"The dome will feature a breathtaking triple-volume entrance and will serve as a museum charting the history of South African football while showing football movies in a special pod at the centre of the hall" a FIFA statement said last year.
Photo's can be viewed on the City of Johannesburg website.
