2019/20 ABC MOTSEPE LEAGUE NATIONAL PLAY-OFFS

DATE 09 – 14 November 2020 STADIUM Vaal University of Technology Stadium HOSTS Vanderbijlpark, GAUTENG

OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT PROGRAMME MESSAGE FROM DR DANNY JORDAAN President of the South African Football Association

This year might have been ravaged by the Covid-19 pandemic but the ABC Motsepe League National Play-Offs are set to give football fans something special to cheer about.

The decision taken by the SAFA NEC to declare all ABC Motsepe Provincial Leagues as final and for all teams occupying number one spots to advance to the play-offs, was made in the best interest of football, its stakeholders and the clubs involved.

The SAFA NEC took into consideration the fact that the two promoted teams need to prepare for life in the newly-branded GladAfrica Championship (National First Division) and this entails beefing up their squads and registration of those players. This process will also allow promoted sides enough time to get ready.

It is a well-known fact that the teams promoted from the ABC Motsepe League have stood their own in the NFD and we want that trend to continue (see below). With the mouth- watering prize money on offer and the incentive of promotion, this year’s play-offs will not be short of the competitive edge that has always characterised previous editions.

To the Motsepe Foundation, Dr Patrice Motsepe and Dr Precious Moloi-Motsepe, your presence and investment in football is valuable and greatly appreciated by the Association. We look forward to continuing our partnership that is changing the lives of players by enabling them to join the professional ranks.

With the lockdown regulations having moved to Level 1, scouts will be coming in big The Motsepe Foundation has funded the ABC Motsepe League numbers to search for talent at this annual football fiesta. All roads lead to the Vaal University (SAFA Second Division) since 2014 and the Sanlam Kay Motsepe of Technology this week and I would like to wish all participating teams the best of luck.
