“From the 23th of this month all the 128 teams will compete for a place in the last 32, knocking one another out of the game. On the day of the kick-off, we will stage four matches at Driekoppies Stadium, and from there every weekend 16 matches will be played each day as teams fight for their spot in the last 32 and final. We will have games at different community stadiums, which have been approved by the South African Football Association (Safa).
