- The limited capacity (~3,000) suggests it is primarily a community or semi-professional venue rather than for major international matches.

Community & Context
Mpumalanga Stadium plays a role in offering sporting infrastructure to less-central areas of Durban. It is certainly important within its community, though documentation is minimal compared to the larger stadiums. Because of its modest size, it mainly serves local clubs, youth fixtures, and probably community events.
