Please check our website for the matches that are currently available for purchase.
If a match is not currently available on our website, we recommend checking the team’s official social media pages for information on when tickets will go on sale.

Unfortunately, the MTN8 Final is now sold out, and we are no longer able to issue tickets for the event.
While we understand that this may be disappointing, no additional tickets will be made available for public purchase.
If you do not have a valid ticket, we kindly ask that you do not travel to the stadium, as entry will only be permitted to valid ticket holders, and you will be turned away at the gates.
Thank you for your understanding.
