Tickets for the PSL double header, to be played at Cape Town Stadium on August 27, will be available through Computicket from Friday August 6. Forty thousand tickets priced from R40 to R80 are up for grabs on a first-come first-served basis. This is the first event at the stadium since the 2010 FIFA World Cup™.

The opening match will be between newly promoted Cape Town club Vasco da Gamma and Orlando Pirates. Kick-off is scheduled for 18h00. Ajax Cape Town will then take on Bloemfontein Celtic at 20h45.

Ajax will be using Cape Town Stadium as their home ground for the 2010/2011 Premier Soccer League (PSL) season. The team played in the inaugural match at the stadium on January 23, 2010, when they lost to Santos in a friendly. Read commentary from that event.

Vasco da Gamma will play a big part in growing the popularity of soccer in the Cape post World Cup and the match against the Buccaneers is a great opportunity for them to introduce themselves to PSL fans and test their skills against one of the best clubs in South Africa.

Mario Das Neves, Chairman of Vasco da Gamma, said, “Vasco is very excited about the fact that we will be playing our very first PSL match ever at the new Cape Town Stadium. It is a great opportunity to introduce ourselves to the football fans of Cape Town in a year in which Vasco celebrates its 30th birthday and South Africa hosted a fantastic World Cup.”
