Fans will be able to take in the splendor of the HOLLYWOODBETS COSAFA CUP 2022 with stadiums open to spectators for the competition that is to be staged in Durban from July 5-17, providing a long-awaited chance to support their national sides live on the big stage.
 
And the best part of all is that entrance to the venues will be absolutely FREE!
The last edition of the regional showpiece tournament in 2021 was held behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while there was no edition at all in 2020 following the lockdown regulations in place at the time.
 
So it will be the first opportunity since the hugely successful 2019 competition in Durban that fans will be able to watch COSAFA Cup games live, and the first time the likes of Bafana Bafana will be able to have a full stadium on home soil since the start of the pandemic.
 
There will be three venues used during the competition, the King Zwelithini Stadium in Umlazi, the Princess Magogo Stadium in KwaMashu and the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium that was used extensively during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Fans will be able to collect tickets on a first come, first served basis at the match venues one day prior to the games being played. For a full list of the fixtures, please click here.
On match day, tickets can be collected from the sports centres at the three venues.
A relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions by the South African government means there are no longer any vaccination or PCR test requirements to enter venues for fans and the media alike.
And for those around the Southern African region who cannot be at the stadium, matches will be broadcast live by SuperSport, selected games will be on SABC Sport and matches will also be live-streamed around the world on COSAFA.TV.
