The BBC will construct a main presentation studio in Cape Town on top of Somerset Hospital in Green Point from where the BBC will broadcast from 6 weeks prior, and during the course of the Soccer World Cup held in South Africa next year.
The BBC will broadcast 32 live soccer games and present from the Cape Town studio, giving viewers a view of Table Mountain, The V&A Waterfront, Cape Town Stadium and Robben Island.
This includes live links and inserts from Cape Town. BBC Radio, BBC Africa and BBC Online Services will also be based in Cape Town. ''Our production set-up in Cape Town next year will be our biggest to date taking into account all previous Soccer World Cups,'' says Phil Bigwood, the BBC's executive producer of sport.
