This weekend marks the commencement of the National First Division League matches.

Black Leopards will resume their activities for the new season by playing away from home. They will play against Roses United at the Botshabelo Stadium tomorrow afternoon. It will be the first league match for Lidoda Duvha in the lower division after facing the chop from the Premiership Division at the end of last season.

There will be two Cape Town derbies in the opening NFD League matches. FC Cape Town will take on Milano United, while Santos will face Vasco da Gama.

The other fixtures are Chippa United vs Blackburn Rovers, Witbank Spurs vs Thanda Royal Zulu, Baroka FC vs Sivutsa Stars, African Warriors vs Maluti FET College and Jomo Cosmos vs United FC.

Thanda Royal still have unfinished business with the Premier Soccer League. They recently referred their case against the league to the FIFA Appeals Board, after failing to convince the arbitrator that they were unfairly denied promotion to the elite league last season.
