The PSL have confirmed the kick-off time and ticket details for the Nedbank Cup final between Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.
The highly-anticipated final between the two SA football powerhouses will take place on June 1, 2024, at Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga.
In addition, the Nedbank Cup encounter will see Pirates and Sundowns face each other for the second time in the final this season after clashing in the MTN8 finale in Durban. The Soweto giants won the MTN8 title at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, beating Sundowns 3-1 on penalties as the tie ended goalless in 120 minutes.
On their way to the Nedbank Cup final, the Buccaneers defeated two lower-division sides, Crystal Lake and Hungry Lions, as well as top-flight teams AmaZulu FC and Chippa United.
Meanwhile, Sundowns beat second-tier league three outfits NB La Masia, Maritzburg United, AmaTuks and DStv Premiership side Stellenbosch FC to set up a date with Pirates.
