World Cup 2010

May 01: Apart from a few uneven gravel patches, which the city promises to fix before the World Cup, wheelchair-user soccer fans will have a smooth ride from Cape Town station to the stadium along the Fan Walk.

You will need strong arms, though, unless you can persuade someone to push you.

The route through the city to the new Cape Town Stadium is fairly disabled-friendly.

Cape Town tourism authorities say the city has gone out of its way to make the World Cup an accessible and enjoyable experience for disabled soccer fans.

Cape Town Tourism chief executive Mariette du Toit-Helmbold said the city would ensure that disabled fans got to the stadium and fan parks in comfort.
