SEDIBENG.- The highly anticipated semi-final clash between FC Government and Major 1 FC is widely being hailed as a “final-before-final.”

For the seniors, the much-anticipated battle between soccer giants FC Government and Major 1 FC kicks off at 12:00. Local soccer fans can expect a spectacular game and the mother of all battles. In the other senior semi-final, Tshepiso Barcelona FC will go up against Swidi Wodwa FC in a match that also promises fireworks given the sheer talent both teams possess.

In addition to the senior matches, the U17 semi-finals will take place on Saturday. United Colours FC and PSG Phase 5 FC will kick-start the day’s programme with an early kick-off at 9:00.

In the second U17 semi-final, X1 Experience FC will face Vultures FC. To guarantee action galore throughout the day, Hlanganani Masters and Rumally Masters FC will also fight it out for a spot in their respective final.
