South Africa take on Les Fauves in the Mother City on Saturday evening, with Igesund's side currently third in Group A, one point behind their upcoming opponents in second and a further one adrift of leaders Ethiopia.
That means a win for Bafana this weekend could take them top of the standings, leaving them in a great position to book their place at the 2014 Brazil spectacular.
"I brought the game to Cape Town because we have always had a very good feeling here," Igesund said. "In the game against Norway, the vibe was fantastic.
"The stadium will suit us, it's a nice big stadium. CAR is a team that like to play on a small ground, they want to close people down, they want to kick. They are a physical side."
The former Moroka Swallows coach added: "I think the Cape Town Stadium is ideal for our game.
"If the players play the type of football they can, we can knock the ball around, don't let them get it, play attacking football with a lot of possession, and get the crowd here behind us.
"Over the years, teams come to Cape Town and always battle. It's not easy here."
