Sports brand Puma CEO Jochen Zeitz gave Cape Town's 2010 World Cup Green Point stadium the thumbs up after a site inspection yesterday, Wednesday, 5 November 2008. “This is a world-class facility in the making. It is going to be an impressive stage for all of the world cup dramas to unfold, set against the backdrop of Table Mountain. You can't ask for a better venue,” said Zeitz, who was in town to welcome Puma's il mostro yacht at the completion of the first leg of the Volvo Ocean Race 2008/9. Zeitz also said the brand is thrilled that South Africa will host the world cup, and discussed the sports brand's plans for 2010 and its commitment to Africa and the continent's football traditions.
