The Opening Ceremony boasted A Rapper, A Beat Boxer, a Fire breathing act (including a fire Hoola Hoop Girl), a group of dances and a  fireworks display before a 0-0 draw between Ajax Cape Town vs ASD Cape Town. Interestingly these two met again in the semi-finals as well as Old Mutual Academy played against Sundowns FC.
