What is the Diski Ekasi Champ of Champs about?
The tournament is in its fourth inception this year and includes teams from Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and Limpopo. It is sponsored by MultiChoice through DStv and is broadcast on SuperSport. That viral clip encapsulates the spirit of the tourney, which in essence is the celebration of township football culture, flair, and community pride.
Dstv has been instrumental in developing and growing grassroots football in the country, with the sponsorship of the Dstv Diski Challenge, which has been attributed as the success story behind Amajita's historic triumph at the Under 20 African Cup of Nations.
Amajita's star player signs with an English club
Briefly News previously reported that Stellenbosch FC and South Africa U20 defender Tylon Smith is set to complete his move to English Championship side Queens Park Rangers (QPR). The two clubs have agreed on the transfer of one of South Africa’s most promising young talents.
