The Premier Soccer League [PSL], together with SAB, have introduced a new club competition that will involve the 16 DStv Premiership clubs.
The once-off tournament is set to take place in November 2022 during the FIFA World Cup break. The four teams participating will be voted for by supporters.
“After the announcement of the 2023 Carling Knockout Cup, our long-time partners, SAB, were eager to come back as a Cup Sponsor, but unfortunately, the constraints imposed by the World Cup calendar did not allow this in 2022. They proposed an innovative appetizer for the 2023 Knockout Cup, the 2022 Carling Cup, to take place as a one-day affair on 12 November,” said PSL Chairman Dr Irvin Khoza.
“This was welcomed by the Executive Committee, especially for the partner that has been so good at marketing and positioning football in the country and would be great for spectators to have a window-view of what would happen in the 2023 Knockout Cup season,” he said.
The top four teams with the most fan votes will be drawn against one another, where it will be determined which teams will battle it out before the penultimate final, where the two winners will face off.
