Amakhosi will be taking on the Free Agents from Gauteng's ABC Motsepe League, a matchup that is sure to add some tension and drama!

In what could be dubbed a 'match made in football heaven', the so-called 'Big Three'—Amakhosi, Sundowns, and Pirates—managed to steer clear of each other in the initial draw, avoiding potential blockbuster showdowns in this early round.
