Mamelodi Sundowns have found out which teams they will face in their first eight games of the 2021/22 campaign, with their opening schedule looking quite tricky.
The defending champions will face five of the other teams who finished inside the top eight in 2020/21 in their first eight matches of the new campaign.
Downs start with a tricky clash against second-placed AmaZulu before meeting Gavin Hunt’s Chippa United on match day two.
Masandawana then host Kaizer Chiefs on 12 September, while they will also face Orlando Pirates later in the same month.
