Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs will play their remaining home matches at Orlando Stadium.

This follows the Premier Soccer League's (PSL) Biologically Safe Environment (BSE) match venue draw.

Orlando Stadium is the usual home venue of rivals Orlando Pirates but all clubs were drawn a neutral 'home' venue, including teams who are based in Gauteng.

PSL boss Irvin Khoza announced the return of domestic football on Monday with over 100 matches - Absa Premiership, GladAfrica Championship and Nedbank Cup - to be played in 30 days in a BSE based in Gauteng.

The Nedbank Cup semi-finals will kick off proceedings on Saturday, 8 August, with Sundowns entertaining Wits before Celtic take on Baroka FC.

The final will take place on Saturday, 5 September, on the last day of the season as confirmed by the PSL chairperson.

The Absa Premiership and GladAfrica Championship will restart on Tuesday, 11 August - three days after the Nedbank Cup semi-finals.

Meanwhile, the Buccaneers will have their 'home' matches played at Ellis Park, with Cape Town City to be based at Loftus Versveld.
