The Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville is ready to extend partnership agreements with the country’s football clubs.
As the latest DStv Premiership League season approaches in August 2024, soccer fans can be rest assured that their favourite soccer teams will be able to train and play fixture games at the Lucas Moripe Stadium through partnership agreements with the City of Tshwane.
“I recently led an oversight visit, along with sport department officials, to the Lucas Moripe Stadium. This visit followed a similar engagement on May 21, 2024 where maintenance issues were brought to my attention,” said Deputy Mayor Nasiphi Moya.
One of the main issues at the facility was non-functional flood lights. These lights are crucial to ensuring that the stadium is well lit for use at night and during cloudy weather days.
“I was pleased to see that the flood lights were repaired and ready to help ensure that tournaments are not disrupted by a lack of visibility,” Moya.
Lucas Moripe Stadium is an iconic stadium in Tshwane and its well-maintained pitch serves as a beacon of hope for the City’s tourism and revenue generation.
“As we prepare for the latest soccer league, we had to ensure that we as a City are ready to host successful tournaments. Residents are encouraged to support these tournaments by buying tickets and enjoying the comradeship.
“Delivering functioning sport and recreational facilities in Tshwane remains a top priority for the multiparty administration as part of our efforts to nurture sport development in our communities.”
