The battle for a place in the Carling Knockout Cup semi-finals continues this weekend, with some of South Africa’s biggest football clubs preparing for crucial quarter-final encounters.

Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs, Sekhukhune United, Siwelele FC, Stellenbosch FC and AmaZulu FC will all be looking to secure victories and keep their hopes of lifting the trophy alive.

The remaining quarter-final matches will take place on Saturday, 7 November, and Sunday, 8 November 2026, with three semi-final positions still available after Mamelodi Sundowns booked their place in the last four.

Orlando Pirates will be the first major attraction when they host Sekhukhune United on Saturday at Orlando Amstel Arena. The match is scheduled to kick off at 15:00.

The Buccaneers will be hoping to use their home advantage and passionate supporters to overcome Sekhukhune and move closer to another cup triumph. However, Babina Noko will be determined to produce a strong performance and eliminate one of the tournament favourites.

Sunday promises another exciting day of football, with two matches scheduled for 18:00.

Kaizer Chiefs will travel to Polokwane to face Siwelele FC at Peter Mokaba Stadium. Amakhosi will be desperate to progress to the semi-finals, but Siwelele will be looking to frustrate their opponents and cause an upset.

Meanwhile, Stellenbosch FC will welcome AmaZulu FC to Danie Craven Stadium in another highly anticipated encounter. Both teams understand the importance of securing victory as they chase a place among the competition's final four.

Mamelodi Sundowns have already qualified after recording a narrow 1-0 victory over Golden Arrows.
