The Makhulong Stadium (sometimes referred to as Tembisa Stadium) is a South African multi-sports stadium in Tembisa, a township of Ekurhuleni. In 2009, it underwent a R38 million renovation and was brought up to Premier Soccer League standards.[citation needed]

In June 2010 a crowd crush of spectators before an exhibition game between the Nigeria and North Korea national football teams injured 16 people.[4]

In March 2020, the Ekurhuleni municipality announced that it would renovate the stadium for Highlands Park F.C.[5]
