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.”
