South Africa is keeping The World Cup 2010 eco-friendly

Five stadiums that are used to host The World Cup in South Africa all feature some environmental-friendly elements.

Among them, two are new, two are old, and one is remodeled. The new stadiums were built with solar power capabilities, and have been created with enough flexibility to later be re-used for events other than football, which is really a kind of architectural recycling, if you think about it broadly enough. One of these newly built soccer stadiums also has a collection system for rainwater. The remodeled stadium lets in daylight through its roof to reduce electricity usage, and retains much of the elements of its previous structure.
