Thierry Henry will attend the Soweto Derby between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium on Saturday, as part of Betway's celebrations for the 30th anniversary of the Premier Soccer League. The event will also feature the presentation of the prize to the winner of Betway’s S’bonise & Win campaign, with the brand ambassador joining fans at the stadium to experience one of South Africa’s most celebrated football rivalries.
Kaizer Chiefs coach Fernando da Cruz appeared confident ahead of his first Soweto Derby, speaking in English at a press conference in Randburg, while acknowledging the importance of the match. His team enters the fixture with boosted morale after a 3-0 win over TS Galaxy, and with support from sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jr., following a challenging period that included elimination from the CAF Confederation Cup. Orlando Pirates coach Abdes Ouaddou admitted his team may be favourites, having remained unbeaten in recent derbies, but expects a tough contest.
