The
Premier Soccer League (PSL) and sponsors Nedbank are putting final touches in
preparation of what is expected to be a spectacular Nedbank Cup final this
Saturday.
The
Nedbank Cup final will feature SuperSport United and Kaizer Chiefs at the Moses
Mabhida Stadium on Saturday, 25 May 2013.
Both
the League and Nedbank have been working around the clock to ensure smooth
operations on Saturday afternoon. This includes putting together plans for
safety and security, transportation, entertainment and match-day operations.

Acting CEO Cambridge Mokanyane said: “Our behind-the-scenes team has been
working very hard to ensure that everything is in place before the Nedbank Cup
Final. We are all excited about this year’s Nedbank Cup final. We would like to
thank the City of Durban, police and Durban metro for all their cooperation in
the last few days. We are ready.”

GM of Safety and Security Phillip Masimong added: “Security plans are in place
and we will adopt a zero tolerance on the day. We want people to come to the
stadiums to enjoy football. The safety of the spectators- remains our
priority.”
Tickets
for the 2012/13 Nedbank Cup final were sold out in just over 48 hours. The PSL
has warned fans to be vigilant and not to purchase tickets from the black
market.
“I
want to warn everyone that we will be looking out for all fraudulent tickets on
Saturday. The police have been informed and we will make arrests on the spot,”
Masimong added.
Stadium
gates will open at 11h00 and fans have been urged to come early. Spectators are
also advised to use the Durban station parking and use the trains that will be
running between the station and Moses Mabhida Stadium.
