Wikipedia - Nedbank Cup

The Nedbank Cup is the current name of South Africa's premier club soccer knockout tournament. While many formats have been used over the years, the tournament has always been based on the idea of giving lower league and amateur teams a chance to compete with clubs from the top league for the cup. The tournament is based on the English FA Cup, which has become known for "giant killings" (lower league clubs defeating a top-flight club).

History

The tournament was started in 1971 as the Life Challenge Cup, this name stayed in place until 1975. In 1976 and 1977, the tournament was known as the Benson and Hedges Trophy. From 1978 until 1987 the tournament was known as the Mainstay Cup. In 1988 the sponsorship was taken over by First National Bank, and was renamed the Bob Save Super Bowl. This name remained until 2001, however the tournament was not played in 1997. The tournament was again not played in 2002. The competition was then sponsored by ABSA between 2003 and 2007, and known as the ABSA Cup. Nedbank took over the sponsorship in 2008, and renamed the tournament the Nedbank Cup.

**Sør-Afrika-cup'en**

Sør-Afrika-cup'en er en årlig fotballturnering for landslag i Sør-Afrika. Den første turneringen ble arrangert i 1997, og den har blitt arrangert hvert år siden den gang, med unntak av 2001. Turneringen er åpen for alle FIFA-medlemslag, og vinneren får et trofé og en pengepremie.

Sør-Afrika-cup'en har vært dominert av Zambia, som har vunnet turneringen fem ganger. Andre vinnere har vært Sør-Afrika, Angola, Botswana og Namibia.

Turneringen er en viktig begivenhet i den sørafrikanske fotballkalenderen, og den gir landslaget en mulighet til å forberede seg til større turneringer, som for eksempel African Cup of Nations. Turneringen er også en mulighet for fansen til å se landets beste spillere i aksjon.
