Mashovhela Lodge would like to extend a warm welcome to all the teams and their fans that were drawn to play at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
At the official World Cup draw held in Cape Town this evening it was announced that the following teams would be playing in Polokwane: Mexico, France, Argentina, Greece, Algeria, Slovenia, Paraguay, New Zealand
Peter Morrison, Marketing Manager for Mashovhela Lodge says “These are the lucky fans as they get to see a part of the country, that is not on the major tourism route, but if offers spectacular scenery, authentic culture and incredible wildlife. Fans who don’t have teams playing in Polokwane will just have to venture into our region pre or post the tournament.”
Mashovhela Lodge in the Soutpansberg is opening its doors to football fans and has a number of packages available over this period which can be viewed in our "Package" section of this website
“As we are a small Lodge, and accommodation is going to be of a premium in the area over that period, I would highly recommend that fans book early” Morrison adds.
