September 12, 2025

What a weekend lies ahead — there is the MTN8 final, European club football returns, the Proteas are in action in England, while the Springbok men's and women's team are also playing.

The World Athletics Championship also gets underway. But these are three top picks for the weekend.

Football
Pirates v Stellenbosch
Orlando Pirates will hope to seal a fourth consecutive MTN8 title when they take on Stellenbosch FC in the final at the Mbombela Stadium tomorrow.

The Buccaneers had a shaky start to the season under new Moroccan head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou, but they have bounced back well, and are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions.
