The Rainbow Gold Cup – featuring 32 teams from around South Africa – kicks off in September following a four-year hiatus and will introduce an exciting knockout format.
The competition for top non-university clubs is back after a four-year break due to the Covid pandemic and other factors, with African Rainbow Capital coming on board as the title sponsor.
The provincial qualifiers on the North side of the draw include Naka Bulle and Harlequins from the Blue Bulls; Bloemfontein Police and Collegians from the Cheetahs; Welkom Rovers from the Griffons; Rustenburg Impala and Wolverines from the Leopards; Louis Trichardt and Northam Rhinos from Limpopo; Pirates and Raiders from the Lions; Sasol Secunda and White River from the Pumas; and Springs and Vereeniging from the Valke.
The knockout-style tournament – based on the same format as the FA Cup in English football – will be staged over five weekends. The Round of 32 and Round of 16 will be contested within the respective North and South sections. From the quarter-finals onwards, the best of the North will face the best from the South. The final is scheduled for 7 October.
