Carling Knockout champions and Limpopo based side Magesi FC have been given the go ahead by the Premier Soccer League (PSL) to use the Seshego Stadium, but they won't be able to host certain clubs.
The team's Public Relations (PRO) Abel Rakoma confirmed the good news to Soccer Laduma, even though the likes of Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns won't be able to visit.

Talking to the Siya crew in an exclusive interview, Rakoma stated that they will be using the 5 500 seater for most of their remaining home games.
"We are very happy that finally the PSL has approved our home stadium in Seshego. We have worked hard as a team to have the stadium approved and now that it's ready for games, we will play our games there. It's close to the community. We are bringing the team to the community that supports it. We are grateful to the PSL and our management for working together to have the stadium ready for games," Rakoma told Soccer Laduma.
Rakoma further stated why there are games which won't be played at Seshego Stadium and that is because they fall under Category A which means they are bigger games which attract larger spectator numbers.

"But you should know that we won't play Category A games at Seshego Stadium. We will play those games at the new Peter Mokaba Stadium. These games are against Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns. As you know, Seshego Stadium takes only 5 500 people and it won't be good for Category A games. But for all the other home games, we will play them at Seshego Stadium," Rakoma explained.
The Seshego Stadium was officially opened on Wednesday, when Magesi FC lost 4-1 to Chippa United in a Betway Premiership encounter. Magesi's next home game at Seshego Stadium is against Cape Town City on Saturday afternoon.
