2,000 fans to watch Bafana against Zimbabwe on November 11, but they'll have to fork out R100 for a ticket HadebeSazieso
There was a jovial mood at the FNB Stadium as fans went back to live soccer for the first time since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in March last year.Over 1,500 football fans who want to watch Bafana Bafana’s 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe at the FNB Stadium on November 11 will have to fork out R100 per ticket, Stadium Management SA announced in Johannesburg on Thursday.
“On sale there will 1,584 tickets to be sold to the general public. 200 of those will be complimentary tickets to be issued by Safa to their stakeholders. The Bafana match against Zimbabwe will be the second to have fans after Safa kicked off the drive to have them back with last month’s qualifier against Ethiopia that Hugo Broos’ side won 1-0 at home to remain one point clear of Ghana on top of their group with two matches to go.
Ngwenya and Grobbelaar said hosting matches with such a few spectators cost a lot more than having a decent crowd on the stands and that’s why they’re pushing for the government to further relax the rules.“There’s no way with 2,000 spectators you can come close to covering the costs of all of those additional costs. At this point as stadium management we’re assisting by reducing our rates and providing discounts, but the costs are carried by Safa.
