Mbombela ready for Chiefs clash
Mpumalanga-based Kaizer Chiefs supporters, who were denied an opportunity to watch their beloved team in action when they beat minnows Acornbush United 2-1 in the Nedbank Cup Last 16, can do so this evening.
The Glamour Boys will host Chippa United at the majestic, 43 000-seater Mbombela Stadium. Kick-off is at 18:00.
There was public outrage when soccer lovers heard that Acornbush was taking their encounter against crowd-pullers
Chiefs to KaBokweni, which is a 10 000- seater.
Mthuthuzeli Qamba, of Mbombela Stadium management, said as provincial soccer lovers were starved for top football action, this was their opportunity to feast. “We urge all soccer fanatics to purchase their tickets on time to avoid disappointment. People are going on a long weekend, and there is nothing like going out as a family to attend the game on Saturday evening,” he said.
Two weeks later – April 29 – Amakhosi faithfuls will also have an opportunity to catch a glimpse of their team in action when they are hosted by SuperSport United at the same venue. The games will also kick off at 18:00.
Tickets for the Chiefs against Chippa encounter are already available at Computicket. They cost R50 for adults, R20 for children aged between 13 and 18 and R10 for kids under 10.
