BAFANA BAFANA VS CONGO-BRAZZAVILLE: TICKETS UPDATE
Now, the South Africa and Congo-Brazzaville match in Gqeberha is expected to be played in front of full capacity.
According to SABC Sport journalist Velile Mnyandu, as of Thursday night, over 30 000 tickets had been sold.
Possibilities are, at this time of the day, all the tickets made available for this match are finished.
The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium takes up to 46 000 spectators, but, of course, authorities are not allowed to make all the seats available.
This is due to safety reasons after what happened 23 years ago at Ellis Park Stadium where 43 people lost their lives in a stampede.
Now, for those with no tickets, this encounter will be screened LIVE on SABC 2.
SABC Sport, the official TV rights holders, confirmed on their social media platforms that the match will also be available on SABC+.
The news means every South African football fan with a TV will have access to the game.
