The 10, 000 capacity stadium in Tlokweng was completed earlier this year and its construction was a joint project between property mogul Sayeed Jamali and Rollers' president Jagdish Shah.

The stadium will taste its first piece of football on July 20 when Rollers host the South Africa's Kaizer Chiefs in a preseason friendly match.
