		The largest venue of all is in Cairo, where the International Stadium officially holds 100,000, even if a crowd estimated at 150,000 was said to have packed in for one of the legendary derbies between Al-Ahly and Zamalek, in 1981.
		On the positive side, however, because stadiums such as that at Surulere, Yaoundé (Cameroon) and Karasarani (Nairobi) are relatively modern, structurally, the potential for refurbishment is considerable.

		Next weekend's match will be televised live, but we cannot really rely on television to keep people away, we have to organise for the eventuality of a big crowd turning up.

		Trevor Phillips is hoping he will be able to play the Absa Cup final between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates at FNB Stadium - but the prospect of staging the dream final at 'a dream venue' could be confronted with a nightmarish obstacle.
		"FNB is the logical venue in view of its 80 000 capacity constituting the only ground in the country that could accommodate the crowd who would like to see the game," added Phillips, "but I can't ride roughshod over the constitution and I'll be consulting Pirates on the issue on Tuesday."
		He hinted that after examining all the implications he could possibly insist the Absa final be played at FNB Stadium on the basis of the findings of a specially appointed commission following the Ellis Park tragedy that resulted in the death of 43 spectators at a Chiefs-Pirates game five years ago.

		But it has also attracted the presence among what is expected to be a near-capacity crowd of Nigerian federation officials to cast an eye on key players William Okpara, Pirates' iconoclastic, unpredictable goalkeeper, and Raphael Chukwu, the inscrutable striker on whom Sundowns will be pinning their hopes for goals.
		But Sundowns' coach Ted Dumitru makes the salient point that on august occasions such as the one at FNB Stadium this afternoon, the emotion of the event itself ultimately transcends all other considerations.
