The five-team regional tournament gets under way on Tuesday as hosts South Africa take on Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique and Zambia in a round-robin format.
There will be two games on match-days, the first at 12h00 CAT (10h00 GMT) and the second at 15h00 (13h00).
On the first three match-days on November 19, 20 and 22, there will be 1,500 tickets available for free. On November 23 and 24, this number will rise to 2,000.
Once the tickets have been distributed, no more fans will be allowed into the stadium.
Tickets can be collected from the University of Johannesburg’s Soweto Campus gym and the pedestrian gate.
The opening game of the tournament will be between Lesotho and Zambia on Tuesday, with hosts South Africa to face Mozambique at 15h00 at the same venue.
Botswana will enter the competition on Wednesday when they take on Mozambique at 12h00, and later in the day South Africa take on Zambia in what could be a key battle at 15h00.
There will be a rest day to follow, before the remainder of the matches are played in a round robin format.
The teams will receive three points for a win and one for a draw, with the top side in the table after all matches are completed to be crowned champions for 2024.
