Free State Cheetahs shocked by PSL claims regarding Nedbank Cup final venue

Despite the Premier Soccer League (PSL) saying that the Free State Stadium was not available to host the Nedbank Cup final next month, the Free State Cheetahs has rubbished the claims.

PSL chairman Dr. Irvin Khoza announced this week that the Moses Mabhida Stadium will stage this year’s Ke Yona Cup final, but Cheetahs, who are a rugby club, explained that they were ready to accommodate the final.

“Contrarily to the announcement made by PSL regarding the hosting of the Nedbank Cup Final, Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein is and always was, available for the Nedbank Cup Final,” read a statement from Free State Cheetahs’ manager of strategic communication, Ronel Pienaar.
