The highly anticipated final between the arch-rivals kicks off at 3.30pm.

Chiefs fan Bongekile Zalakwande stated that she could not wait to watch the game live at the stadium with her friends.

"I am so excited. I haven't watched a derby live at a stadium for a while... I wish Kaizer Chiefs good luck," she said.

Zalakwande predicted a 2-1 victory for Chiefs in the final.

Dave Nyamane, who is also a Chiefs supporter, said he was disappointed that he did not receive tickets to the match that he had paid for.

"I will be watching from a bar, and the entire experience has left a bad taste since I paid for tickets that I never received. I support Kaizer Chiefs and think they will win this one," he said.

The eThekwini Municipality will be setting up free fan parks to ensure that soccer fans are able to watch the final live on screen.

"Albert Park and Durban Beachfront are the city's official fan parks where soccer spectators are expected to feel the ultimate game day vibe," said the city.
