“This season’s tournament of the MTN 8 has proven to be an exhilarating and an interesting one and we expect the same for the final,” PSL head of marketing brand and sponsorship Nonhlanhla Nkosi said on Thursday.
“When choosing a venue for a cup final like the MTN 8, there are numerous elements that need to be considered. There is a consultative process where was a league consult with both participating clubs as well as with our sponsors.
“The preferred venue was considered by both Cape Town City and Mamelodi Sundowns, as well as MTN. They chose this venue because it is a world-class facility and has hosted numerous events, and also because it is a neutral ground for the teams taking part.”
