Kick for a Million reaches halfway mark on Sunday at Tshwane Derby

Football fans will be given the opportunity to win cash in the Kick for a Million competition at the Absa Premiership Tshwane Derby on Sunday in Atteridgeville.

The now popular and unique Kick for a Million competition will reach the halfway mark at the Absa Premiership Woza Nazo Tshwane Derby between SuperSport United and Mamelodi Sundowns at the Lucas Moripe stadium on Sunday.

The fan competition, taking place at each of the Woza Nazo matches, was introduced by the league sponsors Absa last season. The penalty-kick competition has seen a fantastic start to the 2018/19 Absa Premiership campaign with the interest and support continuously growing among local soccer fans.

On match day, six fans will be chosen ahead of the start of the game at the stadium to kick against an Absa Premiership legendary goalkeeper in a sudden death competition during halftime.

At the end of the contest, each runner-up will receive R1 000 and the winner of the round will take home R5 000. The winner of the final round will then automatically become a finalist to Kick for a Million at the trophy handover match at the end of the season in May 2019.

The competition has seen four lucky finalists progressing from recent Woza Nazo matches that took place in Polokwane, Cape Town, Bethlehem and most recently in Soweto, which has seen Absa give away R40 000 to the selected participants, simply by attending a Woza Nazo match.

Through the Kick for a Million competition, Absa is connecting with soccer fans across the country, positively impacting football in South Africa and giving fans a reason to come back to the stadiums.

Absa will again use the Tshwane Derby to continue to encourage fans to celebrate the wins, the spectacular goals and continue to bring the energy and passion to every Absa Premiership match across the country.

Sunday’s game will kick-off at 15:30 at the Lucas Moripe stadium in Atteridgeville.
