SuperSport Park is a cricket ground in Centurion, Gauteng, South Africa.
Contents
It was renamed from Centurion Park after television company SuperSport bought shares in the stadium. The capacity of the ground is 22,000.
The Titans cricket team, formerly known as Northern Transvaal, have played most of their home games here since 2004.
Name
The town of Verwoerdburg was renamed Centurion at the end of apartheid, with the politically neutral new name of the town coming from that of the cricket ground.
