Orlando Pirates will begin their Nedbank Cup title defence with a game against fellow Betway Premiership side Richards Bay.


The two sides were part of the 32 teams present at the live draw held on Thursday night and will contest one of only four all-Premiership fixtures when the competition gets underway.


According to the draw, Sekhukhune United will face Cape Town City, Golden Arrows entertain Chippa United while Golden Arrows will come up against Chippa United. PSL champions Mamelodi landed a better draw as they will face Sibanye Golden Stars while Kaizer Chiefs will come up against minnows Free Agents FC.


A third straight title will be at stake for the Soweto Giants as they look to replicate the feat of the all-conquering team that donned the famous black and white from 1973 to 1975 but they will have to navigate their way past Richards Bay.


The 2024/25 Nedbank Cup is scheduled to begin later this month, with fixture dates, venues, kick-off times set to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
