The South African Football Association (SAFA) has confirmed the Free State Stadium will host the clash between Bafana Bafana and Nigeria next month.
The two countries meet in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, and the association has also announced the ticket prices.
“SAFA can confirm that coach Hugo Broos’ charges will welcome the Super Eagles to the Bloemfontein venue at 18h00 on Tuesday, 9 September 2025, just a few days after facing Lesotho in an away 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the same stadium on Friday, 5 September 2025,” confirmed SAFA.
“The kickoff in the away match against Lesotho is also at 18h00, and the Lesotho Football Association has informed SAFA that they would communicate details around tickets at a later stage.
Tickets to the Bafana Bafana vs. Nigeria showdown will open in three phases from R70 for adults and R40 for children under 12 years old.
Previously, tickets were R50 and in some cases R100, but the ever-improving Bafana Bafana is a team worth watching, prompting SAFA to take it up to R150 for the Grand Stand.
Phase One is available ONLY at the Free State Stadium from Saturday, 2 August 2025, as follows:
– Saturday – 08h00 – 14h00
– Sunday – 09h00 – 14h00
– Daily – 08h30 – 16h30
Phase Two will open nationally on Saturday, 9 August 2025, at all Ticketpro Outlets at R100.
Phase Three will open on Saturday, 16 August 2025, at R150 for the Grand Stand area. This will include Spar, SuperSpar, Postnet, and the Shell, BP, and SASOL garages, among others.
Bafana Bafana are top of Group C in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers with 13 points after six matches, and they are followed by second-placed Rwanda and Benin, who are both on eight points.
The Nigerians are fourth with seven points, followed by Lesotho (six points) and Zimbabwe (four points).
