Summary	In 2010, Mbombela Stadium was built for the FIFA world cup. Axis Communications deployed a system of network cameras to secure the stadium. In their case study of the deployment, they describe the use of facial recognition at the turnstiles. Axis Communications provides a face detection software, but it is not technically described as facial recognition, rather face detection. Axis cameras can have facial recognition easily enabled.
