Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns face off in MTN8 final

Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns are set to face each other in the MTN8 final at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. The match features a high-stakes rivalry, with Pirates pursuing a fifth consecutive title while Sundowns seek to reclaim domestic cup silverware.

Orlando Pirates have received a boost with players like Thalente Mbatha, Evidence Makgopa, and Gamphani Lungu returning to training. Conversely, Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso is managing injury concerns following international duty, specifically regarding the fitness of Teboho Mokoena, Aubrey Modiba, and Bathusi Aubaas.

To accommodate fans for the sold-out event, the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) will provide extended train services along several corridors, including uMlazi and KwaMashu, with dedicated shuttles operating between Durban Station and Moses Mabhida Station.
