There has been a change in venue for the DStv Premiership fixture between Stellenbosch FC and Mamelodi Sundowns, which will be played on Saturday.

The encounter was initially supposed to be played at the Danie Craven Stadium but the fixture has since been moved to Athlone Stadium in Cape Town.

Stellies will come into this fixture sitting in second place in the league with 50 points from 28 games, having won 14, drawn eight and conceded six defeats.

Sundowns, meanwhile, have already wrapped up the title and are currently on 69 points from 27 games after claiming 21 wins, six draws and no defeats.

The match at Athlone Stadium is scheduled to kick off at 3pm on Saturday, May 18.

Stellenbosch released the following statement on the matter which reads:

Supporters planning to attend this weekend’s DStv Premiership encounter between Stellenbosch FC and Mamelodi Sundowns are requested to note that the fixture will now be played at Athlone Stadium in Cape Town.

Stellenbosch FC will play host to the newly-crowned 2023-24 DStv Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday afternoon in what will be the club’s penultimate match of the domestic campaign.

The highly-anticipated fixture, which will be the second meeting between the two sides this month, will not be played in Stellenbosch, however, and will instead be hosted at Athlone Stadium in Cape Town.

Kick-off for the match remains scheduled for 15h00 and tickets are available to purchase at a cost of R60.00 for both Grand Stand and East Stand seats from Webtickets and Pick n Pay outlets.
