www.islandstats.com can confirm that Bermuda Football Association’s General Secretary David Sabir is in charge of the Stadium Security for the 2010 FIFA World Cup match between Greece and Nigeria.
Sabir who is as a member of the FIFA Stadium Security Committee is in charge at the Free State Stadium that has open spaces to reflect the openness of its people - friendly, warm and quietly dignified.
The Free State Stadium - Mangaung/Bloemfontein is home to some of the country's most fanatical group of supporters. The stadium was given a plush new look for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup. It hosted the memorable semi-final match between Spain and USA where the latter secured one of the biggest surprises of the tournament by sending the European champions packing in front of a capacity crowd.
The Free State Stadium was upgraded from a capacity of 38,000 to 40,911 during the refurbishments. The stadium has hosted numerous major football and rugby union matches, and Bloemfontein's natives are renowned for their passion for sport. While the former played second fiddle to the latter for decades, football's popularity explosion - aided by the emergence of Bloemfontein Celtic - is changing this. The Celtic fans are known as Siwelele, a Sotho term.
