Cup Overview

The South African League has reportedly officially mapped out the road for the upcoming campaign, confirming a significant shift in the traditional season-opening schedule. Fans will not have to wait much longer for the return of domestic action, as the league prepares for a packed calendar following recent international disruptions.

The Citizens striker Dzenan Zajmovic has heaped praise on the teenage sensation, describing the youngster's development during a high-stakes campaign as truly remarkable. As the Blue and Gold Army battle to regain their top-flight status through the promotion/relegation playoffs, the veteran forward believes the 17-year’s technical ability sets him apart from his peers.

Kruger United have already been crowned National First Division champions but the race for the two play off places has Milford, Cape Town City, Hungry Lions and Casric Stars all focused on gaining maximum points in their last games to earn the right for one last shot at promotion.

South African football has a new crown jewel, and the buzz surrounding the young sensation is reaching a fever pitch. At just 17 years old, the Kimberley-born playmaker is already being tipped for a future at Europe’s elite clubs, with his coach setting the bar as high as the Parc des Princes.
