The MTN8 football tournament will commence this weekend after Amazulu’s application for an interdict was struck off the roll.

Amazulu approached the Gauteng High Court after they were relegated from eighth to ninth place on the ABSA Premiership log in the Ajax Cape Town/Tendai Ndoro matter.

In an arbitration hearing, Judge William Mukhari ruled that Zimbabwean forward Ndoro was not eligible to play for Ajax Cape Town.

The SAFA arbitrator went to the extent of docking the Urban Warriors seven points, which were awarded to the three teams Ndoro featured against. SuperSport United benefited from this ruling to qualify for the MTN8 at the expense of Amazulu.

The MTN8 features the top eight clubs on last season’s ABSA Premiership log.
