SOWETO- The Soweto Derby kickoff has been delayed to 15:45 due to fan safety concerns, as thousands of supporters are still making their way into FNB Stadium. The match remains a major occasion for both teams, with both sets of fans expected to fill the stadium once entry is fully managed.
On the field, Orlando Pirates are pushing for the league title and need a victory to remain in contention, while Kaizer Chiefs are aiming to secure qualification for next season’s CAF Confederation Cup. The strict safety measures in place are influenced by past tragedies, including the 2001 Ellis Park stadium stampede that claimed 43 lives.
