Road users are urged to plan ahead for potential delays, with the game set to kick off at 5:45 pm.

Traffic congestion is expected primarily on the Boucher Road, with the M1 and Donegall Road also likely to experience heavy traffic.

Over 5,000 spectators are expected at the match between Larne and Shamrock Rovers, including around 1,600 Shamrock Rovers fans traveling from Dublin to Windsor Park.

The PSNI has announced they will implement “an appropriate and proportionate policing operation” in preparation for the influx of supporters.



Shamrock Rovers, the Republic of Ireland’s most successful club, will face Larne FC, Northern Ireland’s reigning domestic league champions.

In a statement, the PSNI advised: “We ask that those driving to the match park considerately, respecting local residents and businesses, and that supporters behave respectfully when walking through nearby residential streets.

“The areas around the National Stadium are designated ‘No Street Drinking’ zones under Belfast City Council by-laws, which should be adhered to at all times.

“We hope everyone enjoys the match and remind attendees to act in a way that reflects well on their teams.”
