One of the major games in this year\u2019s Absa Premier Soccer League will be played in Cape Town this Friday, 27 April when Ajax Cape Town face up to Orlando Pirates at the Cape Town Stadium in a Freedom Day spectacular.<\/p>\n
About 22 000 football fans are expected at the stadium when the Urban Warriors take on defending champions, Orlando Pirates. According to Shooz Mekuto of Ajax Cape Town, this match is key for both teams to stay in the league. <\/p>\n
For Pirates this is a crucial match in order to clinch the league title. If they win, they will be five points clear, putting pressure on Mamelodi Sundowns. Meanwhile Ajax will be fighting tooth and nail to be in the top eight. <\/p>\n
Pirates will be boosted by Cape Town stars, Benni McCarthy and Moneeb Josephs, whereas the Urban Warriors will take on the battle with the likes of former Bafana players, Matthew Booth and Terror Fanteni,\u201d says Mekuto. <\/p>\n
The match promises to be action-packed, and all systems are in place to welcome the thousands of soccer fans that are expected. As it is a public holiday, traffic around the stadium could be congested. Spectators are advised to use public transport as far as possible. Safety and security will be at optimal level and fans are asked to park in the designated parking areas. <\/p>\n
The gates will open at 17:00 for the 20:00 kick-off. This will allow spectators to arrive early and be part of the build-up. <\/p>\n
Tickets are still available at Shoprite Checkers and Computicket for R40, R60 and R80 each. Tickets may also be purchased at the Cape Town Stadium today between 10:00 and 16:00. No tickets will be sold at the stadium on Friday (match day). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
