The Nedbank Cup is gearing up for its exciting quarter-finals stage and the PSL has confirmed the dates, venues and kick-off times for these eagerly anticipated matches.
Eight teams remain in the ‘FA Cup’ of South African football. Defending champions Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns, TS Galaxy, Stellenbosch FC, Pretoria University, AmaZulu, Chippa United and SuperSport United are all vying for the big prize of R7 million.
The Nedbank Cup quarter-finals will take place over three days in April. “Tickets will be sold through TicketPro outlets at a price of R60 per ticket. The PSL will advise as soon as tickets become available for purchase,” said the PSL in a statement.
