PSL Calls on Capetonians to adopt a Nedbank Cup Final team

The Premier Soccer League is calling on people from in and around Cape Town to adopt one
of the two clubs that are going to battle it out for the Nedbank Cup final on Saturday, 19
May 2018.

Both Maritzburg United and Free State Stars will travel over a 1 000 kilometres to the Cape
Town Stadium where they will play in a historic Cup final – the first appearance by both
sides in the Nedbank Cup since inception.

The Nedbank Cup final will kick-off at 19h00 on Saturday.Before that, there will be a music concert starting at 17h00.

The Premier Soccer League Chief Executive Mato Madlala has appealed to football lovers to
come enjoy quality football and also adopt one of the two Clubs.

“Fortunately for me, I don’t have to pick between these two quality clubs because they have
both played amazing football to be here. But there is an opportunity for the people of the
Western Cape to adopt a side and rally behind that club on Saturday.

You have many elements on the day including the fact that you have a Cape Town-born Fadlu Davids
coaching on his first Cup final in front of his home crowd. And, you have a Free State Stars
that have shown a lot of guts to travel this far.

“We need to ensure that people come in numbers and fill the Cape Town Stadium on
Saturday evening. We are working closely with both Nedbank and the City of Cape Town to
pull all stops ahead of the weekend.”

“The Nedbank Cup has, since inception, been a spectacular showcase of the quality of
football prevalent in South Africa,’ said Tobie Badenhorst, Head: Sponsorship and Cause
Marketing at Nedbank.

“We have stayed true to our commitment to take the Nedbank Cup
final to the various 2010 FIFA World Cup venues for all to experience the fan fair and
excitement that goes with this tournament. We call on all Capetonians to come out on
Saturday and support domestic football.”
