The final, to be contested by SuperSport United and Cape Town City, will kick-off at 19h00.
The 2018 MTN8 final is a repeat of last year’s final which was won by SuperSport on penalties. The winner will walk away with an R8 million prize money while the loser will go home with appearance fee of R800 000, same as othe six teams.
MTN SA Consumer Business Executive Mapula Bodibe the choice of venue is about taking the game to the people.
“We are quite excited about the choice of venue. For us, it’s always been about taking the game to the people that part with their hard-earned cash to support these teams – the fans. Durban has successfully hosted the MTN8 Final five times since its inception and the passion of Durban fans for the game is undoubtable. We are convinced they will embrace us yet again.” Bodibe said.
She added that football fans still stand a chance, until the MTN8 Final, to win the R8 million in prizes whether their favourite top eight (8) team has been knocked out of the tournament or not.
“To BE THE FAN that wins the ultimate LFS prize: R1 million in cash and a trip for you and seven friends or family to ANY football experience in the World next year, opt in by dialling *138*8# to enter the competition. Recharge with R10 or more to stand a chance to win big. In addition, MTN subscribers attending the MTN8 final will receive 500MB of free data at the stadium,” Bodibe added.
MTN has launched “Goals For Charity” initiative and each goal scored during regulation time in the Final will qualify for a R100,000 donation to various charities to be chosen by MTN and PSL. At Quarterfinal level, the amount was R10,000 for each of the 10 goals scored in the four games. It stood at R50,000 per goal in the two-legged semi-finals in which seven goals were registered. The MTN8 “Goals For Charity” kitty is currently sitting at R450,000.
