The match will be played at the Cape Town Stadium on Tuesday, January 8, and kick-off is at 8:15pm.
"The city is expecting a large crowd of supporters at the Bafana Bafana vs Norway match and therefore our best advice is arrive early, make use of public transport if possible and avoid peak hour traffic," said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Tourism, Events and Marketing, Grant Pascoe.
The city also advised that there will be no ticket sales at the stadium on match day, urging fans to purchase tickets beforehand.
