The Premier Soccer League (PSL) have announced that the Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga will host the 2023/24 Nedbank Cup final on Saturday, 01 June 2024.
The announcement was made during the semi-final draw, ironically at the same venue following the conclusion of the last quarter-finals encounter that Chippa United won after a 2-0 victory over home side, TS Galaxy.
Mbombela will be hosting its second Nedbank Cup final after hosting the 2011 final when Orlando Pirates secured a 3-1 victory over Black Leopards.
PSL acting CEO, Mato Madlala indicated that one of the reasons for choosing Mbombela was
spreading the football experience to neighboring countries.
“We are thrilled to bring the Nedbank Cup final back to Mbombela Stadium, a venue rich in
football history, having hosted memorable matches in the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations,” Madlala said.
“This is a pivotal occasion for both the PSL and our partners Nedbank as it highlights our joint dedication to expanding football’s reach and impact throughout South Africa. Moreover, hosting the final in Mbombela will also cater to football enthusiasts from neighboring countries like Mozambique and Eswatini, thereby boosting tourism in the region.”
