The Nedbank Cup Round of 16 Draw Outcomes and launch of Ya Rona House

The journey of the remaining teams that have advanced to the Nedbank Cup round of 16 continues as revealed in the draw. Nedbank and the Premier Soccer League (PSL) hosted the round of 16 draw on Monday 26 March 2024, promising yet another thrilling round of encounters for South Africa’s most prestigious knockout cup competition.

As the future of the tournament unfolded at the round-of-16 draw, the spotlight was on the opening of South Africa’s first fully-fledged fan and creator house, Ya Rona House - which is set to transform how football fans experience their love of the game.

Ya Rona House, based in Parktown, Johannesburg, is the ultimate intersection between sports, entertainment and culture. True to its name, which translates to 'our house', Nedbank will invite football fans into the house and give them some of the most innovative experiences seen in local sport.

Ever imagined watching a game and rubbing shoulders with football legends like Teko Modise while eating a gourmet gameday meal prepared by Chef Benny himself? From an injection of gaming and fashion, food and music, to collaborating with content creators like Primo9teen and Nqobile Khwezi, or challenging football legend Siphiwe Tshabalala to a skills challenge, fans will be able to experience the Nedbank Cup like never before.

Khensani Nobanda, Nedbank’s Group Executive of Marketing and Corporate Affairs says, 'This year, we're elevating the excitement of the tournament and placing our fans at the centre. Ya Rona House takes the fan experience beyond the beautiful game and will encompass multiple engaging experiences, ensuring that every moment is a celebration of all South Africans. At Nedbank, our priority is to provide leading delightful experiences to clients, and Ya Rona House is a demonstration of this focus.'

Ya Rona House is not just a sports venue – it's a hotspot where football culture meets lifestyle vibes to create an electrifying atmosphere that appeals to a diverse audience. From immersive content creation sessions to interactive fan experiences, Ya Rona House will showcase the best of South African football alongside a curated selection of lifestyle offerings, ensuring that there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Nedbank invites football fans to celebrate the spirit of Ke Yona, Ya Rona and embrace the magic that makes the Nedbank Cup truly unique. Participate in weekly Nedbank Cup activities using your Nedbank MiGoals Plus Account and Stokvel Account for your chance to access the ultimate fan experiences at Ya Rona House.

For the first time ever, supporters stand the chance to win their share of R5 million in cash and other weekly prizes if their team clinches the Nedbank Cup title.

The Nedbank Cup has become a hallmark event in South African football. The tournament's enduring spirit of David-versus-Goliath encounters, combined with innovative fan integration mechanics, sets the stage for an unforgettable journey both on and off the field. The Nedbank Cup round of 16 will be played during March with dates and venues to be confirmed by the PSL.
