The Nedbank Cup quarterfinal draw has delivered intriguing matchups, with South Africa’s football heavyweights already eliminated.
Kaizer Chiefs crashed out in the opening round, while defending champions Orlando Pirates were stunned by Casric Stars. Mamelodi Sundowns, meanwhile, continue their barren run in domestic cup competitions after being knocked out by TS Galaxy.
The quarterfinal fixtures now promise fresh narratives:
- AmaZulu will host Casric Stars, who have already claimed the scalp of the Buccaneers.
- Sekhukhune United welcome Milford, aiming to assert their top-flight dominance.
- TS Galaxy (The Rockets) take on Jacksa Spears, the last amateur side still standing.
- The only all-Premiership clash sees Golden Arrows battle neighbours Durban City in a fiery KwaZulu-Natal derby.
Dates, venues, and kick-off times are yet to be confirmed, but anticipation is already building for a quarterfinal stage that has opened the door for new champions.
With the giants gone, the Nedbank Cup is wide open—proof once again that South Africa’s premier knockout competition thrives on unpredictability and underdog triumphs.
