Do not fill this in! ==Naming history== The stadium has been officially known as FNB Stadium since it was opened on 7 October 1989.<ref name="Mus01">{{Cite book |last=Musiker |first=Naomi |url=http://archive.org/details/historicaldictio0000musi |title=Historical dictionary of Greater Johannesburg |publisher=Scarecrow Press |others=Internet Archive |year=1999 |isbn=978-0-8108-3520-7 |location=Lanham, Md. |pages=45}}</ref> This was due to a [[naming rights]] deal with [[First National Bank (South Africa)|First National Bank]]. During the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]], as well as in the month before the tournament, the stadium was referred to as Soccer City. This was done as [[FIFA]] does not allow stadiums to be referred to by sponsored names during FIFA-sanctioned tournaments. The stadium's current name is FNB Stadium.
