Kaizer Chiefs will welcome University of Pretoria at FNB Stadium on Saturday, 10 August 2013, this followed the MTN8 Wafa Wafa launch that took place in Rivonia, Sandton, on Tuesday, 30 July 2013.
Kickoff for the game is at 20h15.
It will be the fourth time the two sides meet since 2009, with TUKS causing an upset back then in the Nedbank Cup. Last season they met twice with one game ending in a draw and Tuks winning the return fixture.
Kaizer Chiefs midfielder, Siyabonga Nkosi, expressed his confidence speaking to the media at the launch;
"We have sat as a team and discussed our ambitions going to the 2013-14 PSL season. We want to perform better than we did last season. There is a lot at stake and Tuks is one of the challenges we will have to go past to achieve our ambitions.
They are a tough side and they proved to be that on two occasions we met last season.”
Nkosi who is nursing a calf injury, added; "We want to win everything on offer this season starting with the MTN8. In my opinion it is the toughest cup competition in the league but we will be up for the challenge.”
PSL CEO, Brand de Villiers said: “The 2013-14 edition of the MTN8 promises to be even better. This season, we have a fair mix of favourites and underdogs. The University of Pretoria – a team that made its debut in the Premier Division only last season – are the surprise package of this year’s MTN8 competition.”
