Moses Mabhida Stadium
Moses Mabhida Stadium has been announced as the venue for this year’s Nedbank Cup final between Kaizer Chiefs and SuperSport United on Saturday, May 25. The kick-off is at 15h00.

This iconic stadium is regarded as a neutral venue for both sides although Chiefs will certainly be happy to go Durban, because they have a lot of supporters as compared to SuperSport United.

This is the second successive final to be hosted in Durban following the Telkom Knockout Cup final between Mamelodi Sundowns and Bloemfontein Celtic late last year.

The draw of the Nedbank Cup was conducted before the announcement of the venue, to determine the home and away team even though the venue is neutral.

"Im very proud of the boys. We came [into the tournament] as underdogs," said John Tlale, the Roses coach and former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper.

"I told the guys we had nothing to lose from this match. They [Bay United] were the ones under pressure."

Hlompho Kekana scored seven goals, Nyasha Mushekwi and Richard Henyekane six and five respectively when Mamelodi Sundowns crushed Powerlines FC 24-0 in the last 32 round of the Nedbank Cup on a hot Sunday afternoon at the GWK Stadium in Kimberley.

Sundowns coach Johan Neeskens made eight changes to the side that drew 2-2 with Moroka Swallows in the league a week ago.

Sundowns capitalised from poor defending when Themba Zwane pulled the ball back in from the right side and Hlompho Kekana struck the ball into the crossbar before it bounced into the net, 1-0 to Sundowns after eight minutes.
