Pirates vs Chiefs: The 2025 Nedbank Cup final showdown
Weekend Argus on Saturday
|May 10, 2025
ORLANDO Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs collide today in the 2025 Nedbank Cup final at Moses Mabhida Stadium, with silverware, pride, and history all on the line in South Africa's biggest football rivalry.
The iconic Durban venue - a 2010 FIFA World Cup semi-final host - will once again take centre stage as the Soweto giants meet for the ninth time in a Nedbank Cup final. This time, it's about more than just bragging rights.
The Buccaneers come into the match in good form and with real momentum.
Their 2-1 league win over Chiefs last weekend - thanks to goals from Evidence Makgopa and Relebohile Mofokeng ensured a league double over their rivals and extended coach Jose Riveiro's unbeaten run in Soweto derbies since taking charge nearly three years ago.
The Buccaneers are aiming to complete a treble of Nedbank Cup titles, having won the competition in 2023 and 2024.
