Orlando Stadium to host MTN8 Final

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”.
