Chelsea et la Juventus s’affrontent ce mercredi dans une affiche de préparation entre deux grands clubs européens. Cette rencontre doit permettre aux deux équipes de poursuivre leur préparation estivale et d’affiner leurs derniers réglages avant le début de la saison 2026-2027.

Les Blues ont déjà disputé plusieurs rencontres durant leur tournée estivale. Après une victoire spectaculaire face à Western Sydney Wanderers (6-4), Chelsea s’est incliné contre Tottenham (2-1) à Sydney. Les Londoniens vont donc chercher à retrouver de la confiance face à un adversaire de premier plan.

De son côté, la Juventus arrive avec une dynamique positive après avoir remporté ses deux premiers tests de préparation. Les Bianconeri se sont imposés face au Standard de Liège (1-0), avant de dominer l’OGC Nice (2-0). Ces deux succès ont permis au groupe turinois de gagner en rythme et de poursuivre son travail avant la reprise officielle.

Face à Chelsea, la Juventus tentera de confirmer cette bonne série, tandis que les Blues auront à cœur de répondre après leur revers face aux Spurs.

Le coup d’envoi de Chelsea – Juventus sera donné à 12h30. La rencontre sera diffusée en direct sur DAZN Deutschland et DAZN Italia.

Aiden Markram has returned to South Africa for personal reasons and will miss the remainder of The Hundred.

The Proteas T20I captain was appointed Manchester Super Giants skipper after the player auction in March. He led them to victories in their opening two matches, but they have since suffered three consecutive defeats.

Markram scored 67 runs in his first four innings before making a half-century at The Oval on Sunday.

Manchester confirmed his departure on Wednesday and wished him well while thanking him for his contribution during the tournament.

Former England white-ball captain Jos Buttler will lead the team for the rest of the season, starting with their match against Welsh Fire at Old Trafford.

New Zealand all-rounder Michael Bracewell has been signed as Markram’s replacement. He is expected to join the squad for Manchester’s final two group matches as they continue their push for a playoff place.

Orlando Pirates have apologised to their fans for the chaotic scenes outside the Orlando Amstel Arena during Saturday’s Betway Premiership clash against Milford FC.

This comes after stadium officials locked out many supporters despite their holding valid match tickets.

In a statement, Pirates said the circumstances that led to the stadium lockdown arose from the continued activities of criminal syndicates operating in and around the stadium precinct.

The club also confirmed that affected supporters would be able to apply for refunds through Open Tickets.

“Orlando Pirates Football Club sincerely apologizes to all the supporters who experienced inconvenience during Saturday’s Betway Premiership fixture against Milford FC at Orlando Amstel Arena,” read the club statement.

VOC made the decision

“The Club confirms that the Venue Operations Centre (VOC) made the decision to close the stadium gates during the match in the interest of public safety. This operational measure was implemented to safeguard the wellbeing and security of all spectators, players, match officials, staff, and other stakeholders present at the venue.

“The circumstances that led to the stadium lockdown arose from the continued activities of criminal syndicates operating in and around the stadium precinct. These groups are involved in the sale of counterfeit match tickets and facilitating the unlawful entry of individuals without valid tickets into the venue, creating an unacceptable risk to public safety and the safe management of the event.

“While the decision to close the stadium was beyond the Club’s control, Orlando Pirates fully acknowledges the frustration and disappointment experienced by supporters who held valid match tickets but were unable to gain entry due to the stadium lockdown.

“To support those affected, the Club has appointed Open Tickets to administer the refund process. Supporters who purchased valid match tickets for the fixture but were unable to access the stadium due to the lockdown are eligible to apply for a refund.

“Supporters who are eligible for a refund are requested to contact Open Tickets to initiate the refund process.”

Pirates further stated that they remain committed to working closely with the Premier Soccer League, stadium management, law enforcement agencies, and all relevant stakeholders to strengthen matchday operations, combat criminal activity, and ensure a safe, secure, and enjoyable matchday experience for every supporter.

Organisers will be tested again when Pirates host Durban City in the opening round of the MTN8 at the same venue this Saturday.
