A PSNI statement said: "A build-up of traffic is to be expected in the M1, Donegall Road, and particularly the Boucher Road areas both before and after the game."

A PSNI statement added: "Participants will travel from City Hall to Great Victoria Street via Wellington Place and Fisherwick Place. Those travelling to the match should take this into account and leave additional time for their journey, or seek an alternative route where possible.

"We would ask that those driving to the match park with consideration for local residents and businesses, and that supporters are respectful and considerate whilst walking through residential streets convenient to the stadium.
