The MTN8 final between Kaizer Chiefs and Ajax Cape Town will take place at the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium in Port Elizabeth on Saturday, 19 September (kick-off at 15:00).

“We are pleased to announce that the Nelson Mandela Bay will host this year’s MTN8 final,” commented PSL chief executive Brand de Villiers. “There were a number of factors that influenced this decision, including the response we got from the people of the Eastern Cape when we staged a cup final there a few months ago.”

Chiefs have been selected as the home team.

The PSL Organising Committee also confirmed that tickets will cost R80 (for West Stand) and R40 (for the rest of the stadium). They will be on sale at Computicket and Shoprite/Checkers. The PSL will advise on the availability of tickets in due course.

Last year, MTN8 final tickets were sold out in less than three hours.

De Villiers would love to see supporters from all over South Africa to purchase their tickets early: “We have seen some impressive numbers in this year’s MTN8 competition when it comes to crowd attendance and we are anticipating another big turnout at the Nelson Mandela Bay on Saturday, 19 September.”
