Stadium Management SA (SMSA) together with the Johannesburg Metro Police have initiated more stringent measures to regulate parking management systems at the FNB Stadium for the upcoming derby clash between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday, 15 March.

Fans who are attending the match are cautioned that there will be NO GENERAL PUBLIC PARKING inside the stadium precinct and offending vehicles will be towed away. Strictly NO PARKING TICKETS will be sold on site on the day of the match; illegal (pavement) parking will be regulated by JMPD and stadium security.

Due to historical traffic congestion at the Stadium; SMSA urges fans to ARRIVE EARLY, gates open at 11h30. We strongly advise the use of public transportation, a vast number of transport systems in place for the event include Rea Vaya, Metrorail, mini bus shuttle services and taxis.  Strict road closures will be in operation in the stadium precinct from 9h00 and private vehicles without a parking ticket will not have access to the stadium.
