SOUTH African football fans can look forward to yet another electrifying spectacle of one of Africa’s biggest fixtures, as Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs meet in the second Betway Premiership Soweto Derby of the 2025/26 season at FNB Stadium on Sunday, 26 April.
As proud sponsors of the Betway Premiership, Betway will once again enhance matchday excitement with a range of interactive fan experiences designed to celebrate the passion and legacy of Africa’s biggest football fixture.
Sunday’s exciting list of fan activities was confirmed on Thursday during a press conference attended by the Premiers Soccer League, Betway, the two clubs, Stadium Management South Africa as well as representatives from the JMPD and SAPS.
With the season fast approaching its business end, fans attending Sunday’s match will enjoy an exclusive opportunity to see the Betway Premiership Trophy up close at the Betway activation area located at Turnstile 19, creating a memorable moment for fans ahead of kick-off.
Also making an exciting return following its warm reception at the last derby will be the Betway Win-O-Meter which sees the best-dressed fans guaranteed to walk away with exciting Betway prizes ahead of kick-off.
As part of the season’s ongoing Betway S’bonise & Win campaign, Sunday’s Soweto Derby has been elevated to a S’bonise & Win Dial-Up fixture, meaning one lucky Orlando Pirates supporter that has a valid and active Betway account stands a chance to win up to R50 000.00, adding even more anticipation to an already highly charged occasion.
Speaking ahead of the Derby, Betway South Africa Head of sponsorship Jason Shield heaped praise on Betway’s ongoing innovation to creating memorable match day experiences for fans.
“The Soweto Derby remains the biggest fixture on the African football calendar and continues to unite millions of supporters across the country and beyond. The memories of this special occasion continue to live on for generations to come and thanks to Betway’s involvement, the fixture has now been elevated to even greater heights through the rewarding of fans.”
With another capacity crowd expected at FNB Stadium, fans are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the full range of Betway activations and pre-match entertainment around the venue.
Gates at the FNB Stadium open at 11h00, with kick-off scheduled for 15h00.
