SuperSport Park, is a cricket ground in Centurion, Gauteng Province, South Africa.
It was renamed from Centurion Park after a television company Supersport bought shares in the stadium. The capacity of the ground is 23,000.
The Titans cricket team, formerly known as Northern Transvaal, play their home games here.
The town of Verwoerdburg was renamed Centurion after the end of apartheid, with the politically neutral new name of the town coming from that of the cricket ground.
This ground was a venue for 2003 Cricket World Cup and IPL 2009 which took place in South Africa. It is also selected as a venue for ICC Champions Trophy 2009 and would host the final on 5 October, 2009, one of the greatest achievements for this stadium.
