NATURENA, 9th May 2013 – Kaizer Chiefs will be hoping to consolidate their position on top of the Absa Premiership when they welcome SuperSport United at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Wednesday, 15 May 2013.
Tickets for the eagerly awaited clash are on sale at Computicket including Shoprite/Checkers countrywide selling for R40 adults and R10 for juveniles.
The game will feature two of the most exciting goalkeepers in the Absa Premiership; Itumeleng Khune and Rowen Williams. Khune, regarded as one of the African finest goalkeepers, has already come out tops this season against the young Williams as the Glamour Boys sent the boys from South Africa’s capital packing at the same venue in November last year.
The Glamour Boys who remain unbeaten at home this season will be making their last appearance at Peter Mokaba Stadium in 2012/2013 PSL season.
Marketing Director Jessica Motaung commented; “The support we have received at Peter Mokaba Stadium has been awesome and we are grateful as the Club. It will be our last home game in Polokwane this season and we are going there to win.”.
The Glamour Boys lost to Ajax Cape Town in their last league game but the moral boosting win over the weekend against United FC to qualify for the Nedbank Cup Final has restored confidence in the camp.
“We have always known that on our way to reclaim the glory there will be challenges. The most important thing is how you respond to them and we did exactly that against United FC. The focus now is 100% on the game against SuperSport United.
“Clashes between the two sides have always been closely contested affairs and even though we beat them in the first round that will count for nothing on Wednesday. The team is geared up for this game.”
Corporate Communications Manager, Vina Maphosa added saying; “The team is ready for yet another, ‘final’. The importance of this game can never be over emphasized and this has been shown by the rate at which the tickets have been selling since the confirmation of this fixture. We call on our supporters to wear their gold jersey in support of the ‘My colours are my life’ campaign. One of our strength over the years has been the Kaizer Chiefs faithful in full voice in support of the team.
“This season the fans have once again demonstrated their support for the team. This was evident in Cape Town despite the team losing the game, the supporters rallied behind team. We need to continue in the same spirit at Peter Mokaba,” said Maphosa urging fans to buy tickets early to avoid disappointment.”
Kickoff for the game is billed for 19h30.
