Cape Town is once again being urged to rise to the occasion as the Stormers look to make history in front of their home supporters.

With two key fixtures lined up at DHL Stadium, the team is within touching distance of setting a new attendance benchmark in the United Rugby Championship.

The upcoming clashes against Connacht Rugby and Glasgow Warriors present a golden opportunity, with a combined crowd target of 45 000 needed across both matches to surpass the current record held by Leinster Rugby.

For a city known for showing up on the global stage, the challenge feels fitting.

Support for the Stormers has steadily grown since their entry into the URC, with matchday attendances at DHL Stadium becoming a defining feature of the team’s identity. Now, that backing could help push them into the record books.

The timing is just as significant on the field.

The Cape side currently sits second in the standings, only a few points off top spot, and remains firmly in contention for a strong finish. Positive results in these final home games could prove crucial in securing home-ground advantage for the knockout stages.

Despite hosting major finals in recent seasons, finishing top of the regular season table has remained just out of reach, a milestone that is now within sight.

The team has made it clear that achieving both ambitions will require collective effort, leaning on the connection between players and supporters to drive them forward.

Stormers target top spot, crowd record

With two weekends to go, the focus shifts to filling the stands and turning the stadium into a defining stage, as Cape Town has done so many times before.

The Stormers face Connacht this Saturday, 18 April, before wrapping up their home league fixtures against Glasgow Warriors on 25 April, with tickets available at stormers.co.za
