Orlando Pirates has confirmed that 40,000 tickets have been sold for the most anticipated domestic football match in South Africa – the Soweto Derby.

Pirates will face Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium on 1 February in the Calabash.

“Tickets for the Soweto Derby are selling fast. With over two weeks still to go before the eagerly anticipated Betway Premiership encounter, over 40,000 tickets have already been snapped up,” said Pirates in a statement of Wednesday.  

“Supporters are encouraged to purchase their tickets on time to avoid any disappointment. 

“Ticket Information: General Stand Tickets are available at TicketPro outlets nationwide. Prices start at just R100.” 

Pirates have dominated the recent Derby encounters, winning all three of their most recent matches, including the Nedbank Cup semifinal in 2023.

This will be the 181st meeting in the Derby, with Chiefs holding a slight edge with 74 victories to Pirates’ 47. There have been 54 draws and five abandoned matches. Chiefs have scored 230 Soweto Derby goals, while Pirates have netted 196.

They will then visit Royal AM at Harry Gwala Stadium on 23 January before the Nedbank Cup last 32 clash against Richards Bay away, with the date of the game yet to be confirmed by the PSL.
