Thousands of football supporters lined the streets across Durban on Wednesday evening as eThekwini Municipality hosted a victory parade for Durban City Football Club after its historic Nedbank Cup triumph.

Supporters waved flags, sang club songs and donned team colours as they welcomed home the newly crowned champions, who proudly showcased the Nedbank Cup trophy from an open-top convoy.

Durban City secured their place in South African football history on 2 May after defeating TS Galaxy 2-1 in the Nedbank Cup final at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, to lift their first-ever major trophy.

“This victory is not only a proud moment for Durban City Football Club, but for the entire city,” said eThekwini Mayor Cyril Xaba.

“The team has demonstrated determination, discipline, and excellence throughout the tournament, and we are proud to celebrate this historic achievement with our residents.”
