The Orange FA Cup enters the interesting quarterfinal stage this weekend following weeks of intensive battle, which saw the exit of nine Premier League sides, as well as 23 Debswana First Division sides.

With eight teams battling for a spot in the last four of the competition starting tomorrow, only one lower division side, Matebele FC remains in the contest. Next on the menu for the Debswana First Division South League side is Jwaneng Galaxy, who face a tricky encounter at the Nest Stadium.
