Copa Resumen

The Soweto giants have signalled their intentions for the 2026/27 Premier Soccer League season by confirming a triple swoop for some of the country's most exciting talents. The Buccaneers are leaving no stone unturned in their quest for domestic and continental dominance, securing the services of Neo Rapoo, Aphiwe Baliti, and Matome Mmolai to bolster the squad.

Austrian Bundesliga outfit SV Ried have moved quickly to spend some of the record transfer fee they received after selling the 24-year-old winger to Mamelodi Sundowns. The club have announced South African midfield starlet Jaedin Rhodes has officially secured a move to Europe following an impressive individual campaign in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.

Abafana Bes'thende have reinforced their attacking options with the acquisition of Siyabonga Mtombeni, a striker whose physical profile has already sparked major excitement. Former Baroka FC head coach Dan Malesela has offered a glowing yet cautionary appraisal of the forward, drawing direct parallels to a legendary figure from his own playing days.

In the immediate aftermath of their league title win, the Buccaneers’ boss cast doubt over his long-term future at the club after admitting that the emotional and physical toll of the job had left him "tired" and needing time to reflect before committing to the project for another season. But now Buccaneers fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief following reports that the Moroccan tactician will stay on to build on his domestic success by conquering the continent.
