Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates will do duty in front of a packed FNB Stadium after Stadium Management South Africa announced that tickets to the Soweto derby were sold out.

There has been somewhat of a decline in fan attendance at the Soweto derby over the past few years, with both teams experiencing their respective trophy droughts.

Giovanni Solinas’ Chiefs outfit occupy third spot in the Absa Premiership standings, while Milutin Sredojevic’s Pirates side are a spot above them in the table

Good news for both teams is that come 27 October, the biggest football fixture in South Africa will be met with an expected 82 000 strong crowd.

‘Stadium Management SA (SMSA) can confirm that match tickets for the Soweto Derby between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs on 27 October 2018 at FNB Stadium have been sold out‚’ SMSA wrote in a statement.

‘Spectators are warned that they should not attempt coming to FNB Stadium without tickets as no tickets will be sold at the stadium prior to the match‚” SMSA’s statement read.

‘In addition spectators are urged not to buy tickets from unauthorised parties as these tickets could be fake and will not allow entry,’ the statement concluded.
