Cayden Fortune of Cape Town City challenges Edmore Chirambadare of Magesi FC during the Betway Premiership 2025/26 Promotion Playoffs match at Seshego Stadium.
Cape Town City face a do-or-die clash against Magesi FC in their final PSL promotion/relegation playoff match at Athlone Stadium on Wednesday.
City’s chances of returning to the Betway Premiership are hanging by the thinnest of threads after they lost both their opening matches to Milford FC and Magesi FC. This left the Citizens rooted to the bottom of the PSL play-off table. They managed to give themselves a lifeline when they beat Milford FC 1-0 away last weekend to earn three valuable points.
Jan Vreman’s side are now level with Magesi and can move up to six points to join Milford FC at the top of the table, should they emerge victorious on Wednesday (kick-off 3pm). However, even victory would still leave City in a precarious position, with Magesi FC and Milford FC set to meet each other in the final playoff game at the Seshego Stadium on Saturday.
Magesi, who finished 15th in the Betway Premiership last season, have the advantage heading into the final play-off rounds.
