Hot on the heels of the completion of the Cape Town Derby last month, the third instalment of the Absa Premiership ‘Woza Nazo’ hits Soweto this week for the historical local rivalry fixture between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, scheduled for Saturday 21 October 2017.
Woza Nazo, meaning ‘Bring it On’, sees Absa bring back the fire to the game in the 2017/18 Absa Premiership season, as we set the stage for players to bring the magic and for the fans to bring their massive support for their teams through the ‘Woza Nazo’ rivalry matches.
The Woza Nazo brand campaign draws on the loyalty and passion that players and supporters have for the sport and for their teams, and encourages us all to up our game and strive for the excellence. This is one of the ways Absa wants to use football to make a lasting and positive impact in everyone touched by the beautiful game.
Supporters can look forward to the opportunity to Kick for R1 million and also will be rewarded for their support and passion for the beautiful game through the unique Absa Red Ticket Zone access experience.
Banie Claasen, the Absa Regional Managing Executive for Gauteng South says: “We invite all soccer fans around the country to come and experience the beautiful game in Soweto with us. Our Woza Nazo campaign continues to create huge excitement from the stands to the field of play and we believe the historical rivalry such as this one between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, is the force that makes the game better.
