Here is all the game day information you need for the DHL Stormers vs Benetton clash. The DHL Stormers are back in action at DHL Stadium on Saturday, 26 April 2025, taking on Benetton in a United Rugby Championship clash. The City of Cape Town would like to advise residents and spectators on logistics for game day.
“The Cape Town International Jazz Festival is also taking place at the CTICC on Saturday, and this could result in high traffic volumes on roads in the CBD,” says the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, JP Smith.
Game day information
The DHL Stormers’ push to secure a URC play-off spot continues against Italian side Benetton at 18:15 on Saturday. Gates to the stadium will open at 16:15. Due to limited parking in the Green Point Precinct, fans are encouraged to park in the CBD, hop on a free MyCiTi shuttle or take the Fan Walk to the stadium.
Smith added, “There will be a lot of activity in the city centre and surrounds as it is the month end.”
