The kick-off times and venue for the Nedbank Cup semi-finals have been confirmed. Domestic football finally resumes next Saturday's the remaining four teams battling it out in South Africa's version of the FA Cup.


The first semi-final will be contested between the Baroka FC and Bloemfontein Celtic with this match kicking off at 14:00.

At 19:00 a cracking match is expected with the defending PSL champions, Mamelodi Sundowns, facing Wits.

Earlier in the week Celtic coach, John Maduka, told OFM Sport that it will be a big game.

“We are looking forward to the coming games, and as you are aware the first game for us is the Nedbank Cup semi-final and that is a very big one for us.

“It is one more step to the final and it is a Cup that we as a club have never won before.

“We are very excited to be going back to what we know best and we are looking forward to this game.

“It has been a challenging time even though we have been training, but there was no-one around that we could play against.

“But at the end of the day, all of the other teams are in the same boat as well.”

Both of these semi-finals will be played at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto.
