2026 Nedbank Cup quarter-final records for AmaZulu, TS Galaxy, Sekhukhune Utd, and debutants Jacksa Spears and Milford FC. Match previews and stats.
The 2026 campaign is being hailed as one of the most unpredictable in recent history. While stalwarts like AmaZulu and TS Galaxy bring tournament pedigree to the table, the inclusion of three first-time quarter-finalists—Casric Stars, Milford FC, and Jacksa Spears—ensures that at least one underdog could march toward the final.
