Johannesburg, 17 October 2011… The Shareholders, the Board of Directors, Management, Staff and the Key Stakeholders of Ellis Park World of Sport (EPWOS), are pleased to announce that the Golden Lions Rugby Union will continue to play all of their home fixtures at Coca-Cola Park going forward.
Coca-Cola Park remains an internationally renowned world class stadium within the greater Ellis Park Sports Precinct. This multi-code sport and entertainment precinct encompasses the sporting facilities consisting of Coca-Cola Park, the Johannesburg multi-use Stadium, the Ellis Park Aquatic Centre, the Ellis Park Arena and the Ellis Park tennis courts.
Through cooperative engagements with the City of Johannesburg, sound public private partnerships have been established to drive some much needed infrastructure developments in line with the City Growth and Development strategy.
We commend the Lions for their decision to remain in this world renowned stadium. In choosing to remain at Coca-Col Park, the Lions will continue to play a pivotal role in the revival of Doornfontein, Johannesburg and the decision is the right one in terms of economic, social and environmental regeneration of the inner city.
Through Ellis Park World of Sport, the Lions, together with their partners, can make its vision to transform our public assets as key vehicles for local economic development and the preservation of heritage a reality.
