African Rainbow Gold Cup fixtures confirmed

The African Rainbow Gold Cup kicks off on Saturday with matches scheduled at 16 club grounds around South Africa, at venues as far afield as Kathu, Saldanha, Hartbeespoort and Uitenhage.

The opening round will see 32 clubs play for places in the Round of 16 in the straight knock-out competition.
