World Cup road closures in Cape Town

It’s only 50 days to go until the start of the World Cup. I thought I’d post some information on road closures in Cape Town during the event. Here are the details you need to know:

World Cup road closures:

On non-match days, for the full duration of the event, the following roads in the vicinity of the stadium will be closed or will have restricted access (click here to see map):

• Granger Bay Boulevard

• Ebenezer Road between Port Road and Prestwich Street

In the city centre, Darling Street between Adderley Street and Buitenkant Street, together with the side roads feeding into Darling, will be closed for the full duration of the event (click here to see map) to facilitate the activities associated with the FIFA Fan Fest™ on the Grand Parade.

On match days, the roads listed below will be closed to the general public, including freight and delivery vehicles, from seven hours before the scheduled kick-off, until approximately four hours after the final whistle, depending on security considerations (click here to see map):
