The
majestic Orlando Stadium will host this year’s MTN8 final between SuperSport
United and Moroka Swallows.
This
was announced by the Premier Soccer League (PSL) today, 03 September 2012. The
MTN8 final will be played on Saturday, 22 September 2012 at 20h15.
This
will be the second time that Orlando Stadium hosts the MTN8 final. The last
time the awe-striking venue – which is in the heart of Soweto – hosted the MTN8
final was back in 2009 in a final that produced a feast of goals between Ajax
Cape Town and Golden Arrows. Arrows won that final 6-0.
PSL
Acting CEO, Cambridge Mokanyane said: “We are extremly excited to announce
Orlando Stadium as the venue for the MTN8. We have already seen quality
football during the quarterfinals and the semi-finals of the MTN8. I have no
doubt that this final will produce another spectacular experience for South African football fans.
He
added: “Together with our partners MTN, we will pull all stops to ensure that
we put together a great event that will leave lasting memories on the minds and
hearts of our supporters.”
MTN
SA’s Chief Marketing Officer, Serame Taukobong, hinted at some exciting
activities during the final: “MTN is all
about connecting its customers with their passion for the beautiful game and
with the MTN 8 final we aim to ensure that MTN customers have an unforgettable
experience. For the final, MTN is working around the clock to put on an
unforgettable spectacle,” said Taukobong.
He
adds: “We look forward to hosting another MTN8 final at the historic Orlando
stadium in Soweto. We are excited about the final and looking back at the
amount of goals that have been scored in the tournament this season, there’s no
doubt that fans will be treated to another exciting goal-fest encounter in
Soweto”.
