Betway Premiership side Marumo Gallants moves from Dr Molemela Stadium to Lucas Moripe in Pretoria due to failed standards at the Bloemfontein venue

Betway Premiership side Marumo Gallants have announced they will now play their games at Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria and not in Bloemfontein.

Gallants’ move from Mangaung’s Dr Molemela Stadium is precipitated by the venue’s failure to meet the PSL requirements.

“Marumo Gallants FC wishes to formally announce the temporary change of home venue from Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium to Lucas Moripe Stadium, located in Atteridgeville,” Gallants said in a statement.

“The decision follows the ongoing pitch and infrastructure maintenance currently taking place at Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium after the venue did not meet the required standards during the Premier Soccer League inspection.

“We would like to reassure our loyal supporters across Bloemfontein and Free State that the club is not relocating. This is a temporary measure to ensure compliance with the league requirements while necessary upgrades are being completed.

“We remain fully committed to our home in Bloemfontein, and all matches will return to Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium as soon as maintenance is finalised and the venue is cleared for use. In the meantime, we call upon the Bahlabane Ba Ntwa family to continue standing with us and showing unwavering support at Lucas Moripe Stadium. Your presence, energy, and passion remain our greatest strength when we play.”
