Lamontville Golden Arrows FC have confirmed a venue change for their upcoming Betway Premiership match against Kaizer Chiefs. The fixture has been moved from King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban to Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.
The club and Kaizer Chiefs both confirmed the relocation, which was due to circumstances beyond the club's control. After exploring all available options in Durban, a suitable alternative venue could not be secured.
New date and time confirmed
The match will now be played on Sunday, 20 September 2026, with a 15h00 kick-off. It was originally scheduled for Saturday, 19 September 2026.
Reasons and impact on supporters
The change significantly impacts supporters across KwaZulu-Natal and other provinces who must now travel to Nelspruit. The club acknowledged the inconvenience, stating the decision was unavoidable after exhausting all local options.
This is part of a broader trend of venue changes affecting Premiership matches this season, disrupting plans for clubs and fans alike. The fixture is a key one for Arrows, who are eighth in the Premier Soccer League with eight points from seven games. Their recent form reads DDLWD, and they drew 0-0 with Kaizer Chiefs in their last meeting on 20 September.
After this rescheduled clash, Lamontville Golden Arrows FC will next face Milford FC at home on 17 October 2026.
