MBABANE – Mbabane Swallows may be crowned the champions of the 2023/24 MTN Premier League, if they win their game against Ezulwini United on Saturday at Mkhuzweni Technical Centre. The game is supposed to kick-off at 3pm.

A win for the red and white outfit will see them crowned champions, but if they settle for a draw or lose, they will have to wait for the results for defending champions Green Mamba, who play Rangers at Tambankulu Stadium on the same day.
