Final
[edit | edit source]The choice of venue for the final was controversial, with the smaller Kings Park Stadium in Durban (known at the time as the ABSA Stadium) chosen over the larger FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, although it is believed that the sponsorship of that stadium by a rival bank to played a role.[3]
