The New MTN8 Trophy Unveiled

The brand new trophy for the 2023 MTN8 has officially been unveiled after more than a decade of the previous silverware.

Back in 2008 when MTN took over the SAA sponsorship of the top-eight competition, the trophy was brought forward and within the MTN era, it’s been shared by 10 different clubs.

Orlando Pirates, the current holders have won it four times, while Kaizer Chiefs and SuperSport United won it twice.

Mamelodi Sundowns, Cape Town City, Bidvest Wits, Ajax Cape Town, Platinum Stars, Moroka Swallows and Golden Arrows are the others to have lifted it.

But a new dawn awaits for the tournament kicking off this weekend, and the trophy was unveiled today at the official launch in Randburg on Thursday morning.
