It has been 18 months since spectators could watch sports matches in the country due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

But after SAFA president Danny Jordaan met with Minister of Health, Dr Joe Phaahla, the decision has been taken to allow supporters back into venues to cheer on their team.

“We had a great meeting with the Department of Health who will on Thursday guide the way in how we will achieve this, and do it in a manner that we all still remain safe. It will be a marvel to see fans back in the stands,” Dr. Jordaan said.

Only a limited number of fans and only those who have been fully vaccinated will be allowed to attend.
