Sas Motsepe Foundation Championship Set To Resume

As one of the most fiercely contested leagues in South African football, the Motsepe Foundation Championship will commence this weekend after being out of action since the 15th of December 2024.

Following a lengthy four-week break, sides in South Africas first division will kickstart the second-half of the 2024/25 campaign from Friday to Sunday.

Log leaders Durban City went into the December break with a 2-1 victory against Milford to their name and took their tally to 28 points after 14 matches played.

Now though, the club formerly known as Maritzburg United, will face Hungry Lions at the Chatsworth Stadium on Friday evening. The Hungry Lions will be eager to get back to winning ways this month after recording a 1-1 draw with Upington City last time out.

Second-placed JDR Stars have been scheduled to face Baroka FC at the Soshanguve Giant Stadium on Saturday afternoon and will hope to keep up with the pace set by Durban City at the top of the table. While JDR Stars blanked in a 0-0 draw with Orbit College in their last match before the recess, Baroka bagged a morale boosting 4-2 win against Black Leopards at the Global Stadium on the 13th of December.
