The Premier Soccer League (PSL) and sponsor, Nedbank, have launched the 2024 Nedbank Cup, marking its 17th year as South Africa’s premier knockout tournament.

This comes on the heels of Orlando Pirates clinching the 2023 title at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

The round-of-32 draw unfolded at the Nedbank headquarters in Sandton, Johannesburg. The draw showcased a dynamic mix of 32 lower-tiered and professional teams poised to compete in the first round of the tournament.

Throughout its illustrious 17-year history, the Nedbank Cup continues to play a pivotal role in shaping football in South Africa, providing a unique platform for aspiring professional footballers to challenge their top-tier counterparts. Noteworthy moments include victories by former National First Division sides such as TS Galaxy FC and Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM), who secured the Nedbank Cup title and earned the chance to compete in the CAF Confederations Cup.
