The Premier Soccer League (PSL) together with Nedbank officially kicked-off the 2023 Nedbank Cup campaign after hosting the round of 32 draw on Thursday, 12 January in Sandton, Johannesburg.
The draw saw some exciting fixtures in what promises to be an entertaining Nedbank Cup this season.
“We are excited to kick-off the 16th edition of the Nedbank Cup, a great feat in South African knockout football. The 2023 season provides yet another opportunity for amateur teams to compete with the best in local football and showcase their talent. As Nedbank, our aim is to continue supporting the growth and development of local football. To show our commitment, in collaboration with the 2023 Nedbank Cup winners, we will install our 8th multipurpose sport court in a school and community where the winning club is based. Our goal for the sport court is to help develop skills and provide a facility that encourages more participation in football and other sport. We’d like to thank our longstanding partners the PSL for their support and efforts in successfully launching the 2023 season. Best of luck to all the teams participating this year,” says Khensani Nobanda, Group Executive, Marketing and Communications at Nedbank.
The successful partnership between Nedbank and the PSL has made it possible for the Nedbank Cup to enter its 16th year and land it the crown of being South Africa’s biggest knockout football competition.
“The Nedbank Cup is known for its inspiring stories and giving a platform for raw talent to flourish, and as the PSL, we are excited about what is in store this season. We would like to thank Nedbank for their continued support which has helped us grow and improve the beautiful game over the past 16 years. We are thrilled to welcome the eight clubs from the SAFA divisions who will have a wonderful opportunity to compete against the 24 clubs from the professional ranks. We hope that they will add a new dimension to the competition.
We wish all the 32 participating clubs the best of luck,” said PSL Acting CEO, Mato Madlala.
The tournament has given an opportunity to many young stars by pitting them against top professionals and has in some instances seen them overcome their Goliaths.
