Defending Telkom Knockout champions, Orlando Pirates will take on Bloemfontein Celtic in the quarterfinals of the Telkom Knockout.

This was revealed during the TKO quarterfinal draw at Loftus Stadium in Pretoria on Tuesday evening.

The TKO, which is contested by the 16 Premiership teams, concluded it's first round after Mamelodi Sundowns beat the University of Pretoria earlier Tuesday evening, to become the eighth and final team into the second round.

Meanwhile, last year's losing finalists Bidvest Wits were pitted against Free State Stars.

In the other quarterfinal fixtures, AmaZulu will host Sundowns, while Maritzburg United were drawn at home to SuperSport United.
