The Sharks Bring Currie Cup Action Closer To Fans In Clermont
In an exciting move to bring rugby closer to the community, the Sharks, in partnership with Durban Tourism, will host their upcoming Currie Cup pool match against the Cheetahs at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium in Clermont on Saturday (17:00).
This initiative aims to deepen fan engagement and promote the love of rugby in communities. It is also a fantastic opportunity for the Clermont and surrounding communities to experience rugby firsthand. This thrilling fixture, taking place in a vibrant community setting, is part of the Sharks’ broader initiative to promote the game and strengthen ties with their supporters.
Best of all, entry is free, giving local fans the chance to enjoy the excitement of live Currie Cup rugby and be part of an energetic matchday experience.
“This is more than just a game, but a celebration of the incredible spirit and passion for rugby within local communities,” said Chairperson of the Economic Development and Planning Committee Councillor Thembo Ntuli.
“The match will serve as a bridge between professional sport and the township audience, reinforcing rugby’s accessibility and Durban’s position as a progressive, people-centred city.
“We want to encourage fans from all walks of life to come out in their numbers, support their team, and enjoy the camaraderie that makes the Sharks so special,” added Councillor Ntuli.
The Sharks’ two other Currie Cup home fixtures will be hosted at the Hollywoodbets Kings Park Stadium, maintaining their tradition of showcasing top-tier rugby at their iconic Durban home.
This initiative underscores the Sharks’ commitment to expanding their reach beyond traditional venues, bringing rugby to new audiences and fostering a sense of unity and pride across the region.
Spectators are assured of high police visibility and security measures will be in place, allowing everyone to enjoy the game in a safe and secure environment.
