However, should Mamelodi Sundowns or Royal AM lift the trophy, they are already likely to have secured a place in either the CAF Champions League (Mamelodi Sundowns) and/or the CAF Confederation Cup (Royal AM).

Although not confirmed, it may be a case of the runner-up being awarded that CAF place on offer, making the result of the TTM v Marumo Gallants tie of utmost importance.

The winner of this season’s Nedbank Cup will also take home a cool R7 million in prize money, with the beaten finalist banking R2.5 million.
