The Premier Soccer League has confirmed the fixtures for the
Nedbank Cup Round of 32, setting the stage for a weekend of high-stakes
drama and potential upsets in South Africa’s premier knockout competition.
The action begins on Friday, 4 February, at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium, where
reigning champions Kaizer Chiefs launch their title defence against a
familiar opponent: last season’s quarter-finalists Stellenbosch FC. The
match kicks off at 19:00.
Later that evening, Mamelodi Sundowns will welcome ambitious lower-league
side Gomora United to Loftus Versfeld—a contest that pits the might of the
“Brazilians” against a team dreaming of a historic giant-killing.
Orlando Pirates, runners-up in the previous edition, face a testing trip to
Durban to take on Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila. The clash has already
sparked intrigue, with TTM publicly eager to host the Buccaneers at their
intimidating home ground, dubbed the “Slaughterhouse.”
With venues and times now locked in, fans across the nation await the
unforgettable moments and shock results that have long made the Nedbank Cup
the heartbeat of South African football.
