Cape Town - The name of the Mother City's 2010 stadium is Cape Town Stadium, not Green Point Stadium, the city said on Wednesday.

Its communications department said Green Point had been a "working title" while the 68 000-seater stadium was under construction.

"The city would like to remind the public that the stadium's official name is the Cape Town Stadium, as approved by council last year," it said in a statement.

Television and radio commentators regularly refer to it as Green Point, which is the name of the suburb where it is located.

Even the FIFA website still refers to the working title.

World Cup 2010 is over and the country is returning to normal - but have you moved on yet?

Yes - it's just back to daily life now

Sort of - I will feel better each passing day

No - I miss the vibe and bustle so much it hurts

Don't care - didn't get into it anyway
