Last month the qualifier between Bafana and Ethiopia saw the return of spectators, but the bulk of the 2000 tickets were given to officials.

The same applied for last week's MTN8 final in Durban.

SAFA has indicated that 1584 tickets will go on sale to the general public for the qualifier.

Fans wanting to attend the match will have to be able to provide a ticket, as well as their identification document or card, and a valid proof of vaccination.

Bafana Bafana currently tops Group C of the qualifiers and a solid win will see them getting one foot into the next round of qualifiers.

They will however still have to do well against the Blacks Stars in Ghana in their final group game.

Next week Thursday qualifier at the FNB Stadium kicks off at 21:00.
