The event seeks to encourage more South Africans to get vaccinated in order for them to be allowed to attend such events.

“When you look at what happens in Europe, why is it that Euro finals can have over 60 thousand people in the stadium, can have fans celebrating before, during and after the match. In the match against Ethiopia, we are going to give 50% of the tickets to fans which we will distribute freely,” says Jordaan.
