Cup (South-Africa): matches and statistics

Cup (South Africa) (Nedbank Cup) - South Africa’s main domestic knockout cup competition operated within the Premier Soccer League system. Regulations: the competition proper is played as a straight single-elimination tournament with no replays, typically featuring a 32-team bracket that includes the 16 Betway Premiership clubs and 16 lower-tier clubs selected through qualification rounds and confirmed for the season. Each round is a single match, draws are generally unseeded, and ties are decided by the score after 90 minutes, with extra time and then a penalty shoot-out if level. The tournament runs through five rounds from the round of 32 to the final. The winner qualifies for the next CAF Confederation Cup, and if the winner has already qualified for the CAF Champions League, the berth typically passes to the cup runner-up, with any further reallocation handled under the applicable national allocation rules.
