Olympia Park Stadium Not Yet Ready to Host Orbit College Home Games

In an unexpected turn of events, Premier Soccer League (PSL) inspectors have announced that Olympia Park Stadium, the scheduled home ground for Orbit College Football team, is not yet prepared to host their home games. The inspection results have forced a sudden change in venue for the much-anticipated match between Orbit College and Venda Football Academy, which was originally set for October 28, 2023.

PSL inspectors, responsible for ensuring that all stadiums meet the necessary requirements to host professional football matches, cited crucial aspects that need to be addressed before Olympia Park Stadium can be considered match-ready. These deficiencies include issues related to pitch condition, safety protocols, and spectator facilities.

As a result, the game that was eagerly awaited by fans has been moved to the Giant Stadium in Soshanguve, which will serve as an alternative home ground for Orbit College until Olympia Park Stadium is deemed fit for use. This decision was made in consultation with the relevant authorities and league officials, with the safety and enjoyment of both players and fans in mind.

In a statement released by Orbit College, the institution expressed its regret over the stadium’s unavailability but assured its loyal supporters that their enthusiasm would not go to waste. The college announced that fans who had already purchased tickets for the originally scheduled match on October 28, 2023, can use those same tickets to attend the game against Venda Football Academy on October 28 at Giant Stadium or Baroka Football Club, which will take place at Olympia Park Stadium on November 11, 2023.

This development has caused a stir among football enthusiasts, with fans expressing their anticipation for the forthcoming matches. It is clear that both Orbit College and their supporters are determined to overcome this temporary setback and make their home games at Olympia Park Stadium a memorable and successful event.

While the delay in hosting home games at Olympia Park Stadium may be disappointing, it underlines the importance of maintaining high standards in football infrastructure and ensuring the safety of players and spectators. The PSL inspectors’ decision to prioritize these aspects demonstrates their commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable football experience for everyone involved.
