Varsity accommodation in the host cities of Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town has been made available for those travelling to South Africa for the 2010 World Cup in June and July.
One of the early concerns of the competition in the African country was a potential shortfall of beds for tourists, but as the tournament nears, it seems that this is no longer a problem.
Helping to add further rooms to the list in three of the host cities, University of Cape Town, University of Johannesburg, Wits University and the University of Kwazulu Natal are all now available for bookings at reasonable rates, which include breakfast on a daily basis.
Other useful facilities located within the confines of the universities in question include banking and foreign exchange desks, food and beverage outlets, football broadcasting areas, tourism information desks, beer tents and food stalls and access to internet facilities.
The accommodation is also situated close to shopping centres and other entertainment areas, as well as 2010 host stadiums. The varsity accommodation will also be secure, with 24-hour security and access control provided at the various universities.
Wits University will be a particularly interesting place to stay for visiting fans, as the campus will also be the home training ground to the South African national team, Bafana Bafana, as well as the Oranje of the Netherlands. University of Johannesburg is situated a few kilometres up the road from the Wits campus.
