Bafana Bafana has descended on Cape Town ahead of their international friendly match against Norway on Tuesday, 8 January 2013. Our boys in green and gold are set to thrill the thousands of fans expected to come out to support their local team. The game will kick off at 20:15 at Cape Town Stadium.<\/p>\n

Tickets, ranging between R50 and R100, are still available for the match and can be bought at Computicket, Shoprite, Checkers and Shopright\/Checkers outlets, at various municipal cash offices across the city and at all of the MyCiTi station kiosks. See full list of outlets here. <\/p>\n

SAFA reports<\/a> that Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund addressed members of the media at a press conference held in Cape Town and indicated the friendly would be good preparation for the Africa Cup of Nations 2013 tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is good to be playing Norway as part of the AFCON 2013 preparations because if you look at the style of play of both Morocco and Cape Verde, it is European orientated.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this match will help me a great deal. And I must emphasise that while winning is good that is however, not everything we are looking for. We need to gel and be ready for the tournament, which is the bigger picture,\u201d said Igesund.<\/p>\n

Anton Groenewald, Executive Director: Tourism, Events and Marketing, said the City is proud to host this match as a sign of its commitment and continuous support for Bafana Bafana and that he is \u201cconfident that they (Bafana Bafana) will do the nation proud.\u201d<\/p>\n

There will be no ticket sales at the stadium on match day. A comprehensive transport plan has been arranged for the clash and revellers are encourage to use public transport. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe City is expecting a large crowd of supporters at the match therefore our best advice is arrive early, make use of public transport if possible and avoid peak hour traffic,\u201d advised the City\u2019s Mayoral Committee Member for Tourism, Events and Marketing, Councillor Grant Pascoe.<\/p>\n

No parking at or near the stadium will be available. Road closures will come into effect in the afternoon, so to accommodate the delays in moving around the city match ticket-holders are encouraged to do one of the following: <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
