Siwelele FC to play the majority of home fixtures at the Slaughterhouse─── MORGAN PIEK 16:07 Sat, 02 Aug 2025

The newly-formed Premier Soccer League (PSL) club, Siwelele FC, will indeed play most of their home matches in Bloemfontein during the 2025/26 domestic football season.
The finalised fixture list was released on Friday, confirming that only two of Siwelele’s home games will not be played in the Free State capital. Initially, the draft schedule suggested that every single home game would take place at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville. However, this venue will now only host two matches: against Polokwane City on 19 August, and Magesi FC on 16 May 2026.

For the rest of their home fixtures, Siwelele FC will share the Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium with Marumo Gallants. However, high-profile clashes against Orlando Pirates (23 September), Mamelodi Sundowns (2 December), and Kaizer Chiefs (1 February 2026) will be staged at the Toyota Stadium to accommodate larger crowds.
Local football fans are in for a treat with two Bloemfontein derbies — a first in PSL history — when Siwelele and Gallants face off on 28 September and again on 18 April 2026, both set to be played at the Slaughterhouse.
