Introducing "Freedm Cup"
AmaZulu and Orlando Pirates are to star in an all new cup
match which is to be known as the Freedom Cup on July 8th 2012 at
the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
A Durban based company called FN Printing Solutions who are
the organizers of the event say the tickets for the one day event will go on
sale on Monday, 25th June 2012.
The Gauteng giants and reigning ABSA Premiership champions,
Orlando Pirates who recently celebrated their 75th anniversary clash are
looking forward to the clash against AmaZulu who are also posed to celebrate
their 80th anniversary as one of KZN and South Africa’s oldest clubs.
“We have also approached the KZN Department of transport to
help in the education of road safety and crime prevention which will be
conducted two days before the match in areas around Durban. We’ve also
approached Ukhozi FM as a media partner to help punt the match.
We decided to call it the Freedom Cup because a lot of
people in our country look to football for freedom,” said Nkule Sithole, the founder
of the cup.
The winning team will be presented with a winners’ cup and
medals.
He added that the match will be an ideal appetizer for
football loving revelers who will be coming from the Vodacom Durban July which
is just a few kilometers from Moses Mabhida.
“We received the invitation and accepted it. We’re eager to
have a run in Durban,” said Orlando Pirates Administrative Manager, Senzo
Mazingiza.
AmaZulu Marketing Manager, Lunga Sokhela is equally keen of
the KZN club’s participation.
“I believe that this is a great way to start the 2012/13
season. We hope that this cup will be an annual event and we look forward to
playing the reigning champions,” said Sokhela.
