This weekend marks the end of the Motsepe Foundation Championship League programme. All matches will be played on Sunday afternoon. Not only will the league champions be crowned on Sunday, but the two teams that will partake in the promotional playoffs will also be known after Sunday's games.
The race for the league championship is among three teams, Cape Town Spurs, Casric Stars and Polokwane City. Should they all manage to win their matches on Sunday, Cape Town Spurs will gain automatic promotion to the DStv Premiership Division. The Cape Town side are shining on top of the log with 56 points. Casric Stars and Polokwane City are in the next two positions, with 55 and 54 points respectively.
Although they will be playing on their home soil, winning the match will not be easy for Spurs. They will host University of Pretoria FC at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town. University of Pretoria are in the right frame of mind after beating Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila FC 2-0 last Sunday.
The other title chasers, Polokwane City, will host Pretoria Callies at Polokwane's Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. Casric Stars will visit Cape Town All Stars at the Tsakane Stadium in Johannesburg.
Venda Football Academy (VFA) will conclude their league programme by hosting Black Leopards at the Thohoyandou Stadium. Black Leopards have nothing at stake in the game as their relegation to the lower league was confirmed when they lost 0-2 to Platinum City Rovers two weeks ago. Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila will accompany Black Leopards to the bantam division.
The other weekend fixtures are Uthongathi FC vs MM Platinum FC, Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila vs Baroka FC, JDR Stars vs Platinum City Rovers and Hungry Lions vs Magesi FC.
