This season’s MTN8 decider will be contested by defending champions Orlando Pirates and Stellenbosch FC in Durban on October 5.

The winners of the competition will walk away with a prize money of R10 million and a stunning trophy.
“The hosting rights for the 2024/25 MTN8 final attracted widespread interest, with proposals submitted by various provinces, including Gauteng, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, and Mpumalanga,” the league said.
