Saleng Could Line Up Against Former Club – Orbit FC Tonight

Newly promoted Orbit College FC are set for a baptism of fire when they take on defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns in a Betway Premiership clash on Monday night at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

The match carries added intrigue with Monnapule Saleng potentially facing his former club. Saleng began his professional career at Orbit College before earning a move to Orlando Pirates. In a surprise development, the winger recently joined Sundowns while still on loan from the Buccaneers.

For Orbit College, the encounter marks another historic moment in their first season in South Africa’s top flight. The North West-based side will be eager to test themselves against the league’s benchmark team and show that they can compete at the highest level.

Sundowns will be looking to start the new year on a winning note as they begin the defence of their league title. With their depth and experience, the champions will aim to impose themselves early against the league newcomers.

The Betway Premiership match kicks off at 19h30 on Monday, 19 January 2026, at Loftus Versfeld Stadium. The game will be broadcast live on SuperSport PSL, with tickets available from R40 at Open Tickets.
