What is the Betway Premiership

You may have heard about the success of football in South Africa. Hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup successfully, for instance, is a testament that would not go away in the lips of many for a long time. These achievements can not be unconnected with the popularity of the Betway Premiership for sponsorship purposes. The league consists of 16 teams battling for top spots, CAF Champions League qualification, and local cups like MTN 8, Nedbank Cup, and the Carling Knockout Cup. The team that finished last in the Betway Premiership table is relegated and replaced by the winner of the National First Division, also called the Motsepe Foundation Championship. The penultimate team in the league table enters a playoff series with the 2nd and 3rd-placed teams of the National First Division to gain promotion into the Betwsy premiership for the next season.

When is Betway Premiership starting? So many fans wonder. Sponsorship restructuring delayed the kick-off of the new 2024/25 league season to mid-September. Defending champions, Mamelodi Sundowns will be hoping to make it 8 in a row to take their league title record up to 15. Teams like Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs will seek their 5th league title. Cape Town City FC has been relegated to play in the National First Division in line with the league structure. Then, on a congratulatory note, only Magesi FC gained automatic promotion from the Motsepe Foundation Championships. Clubs like Baroka FC and University of Pretoria FC, who finished third and second, respectively, in the lower division, slogged it out against 15th-place Richard Bay FC for a spot in the Betway Premiership.

Betway Premiership - League Rules

Betway Premiership League Rules Image

The Betway Premiership league follows the same format as any top European team, such as Italy, Germany, England, or Spain. Each team plays the other teams twice in a double round-robin format using one point for a draw and three points for a win system. The team with the highest points after 240 matches emerges as the winner. If the top teams are tied on points at the end, goal difference becomes the following criteria for selecting the winner. This is followed by the number of goals scored, home and away head-to-head result, and a play-off. Betway Premiership matches are usually slated for weekend showdowns, while some fixtures are scheduled for weekdays.

Games must comply with FIFA standards and regulations, including match balls and officials. Matches must be played on a natural grass pitch, and each team must have a compliant officer. Players are also mandated to change jerseys at half-time. Club members and team players must be in the dressing room at least 70 minutes before the official kick-off. Defaulting teams are charged with misconduct. The early arrival of team players gives room for temperature screening of all match officials, technical members, medical teams, support staff, suppliers, and television crew. Each BetwayPrem team can name 9 substitutes but only 5 are allowed for Betway Premiership matches plus one substitution allowed for cup games that can be stretched into 15 minutes of extra time football.

Betway Premiership Favorites

Mamelodi Sundowns Defending Champions Image

Every team in this professional men's top-flight football division will yearn to get their hands on the first-ever Betway Premiership trophy. Since the sponsorship take-over from DSTV, this would be the first time in history that the professional men's soccer tournament trophy, officially known as the Premier League Soccer, would be issued as the Betway Premiership Cup. No team can be ruled out from lifting this prestigious trophy until after they all play 240 round-robin matches. The team with the highest point after the season will get the Betway Premiership prize money, which is at least R15 million, while the first and second runner-up get as much as R7.5 million and R3.75 million, respectively. We will closely examine SuperSports United and Stellenbosch FC clubs, eager to wrestle the title off favorites like Mamelodi Sundowns FC, Kaizer Chiefs, and Orlando Pirates.

Mamelodi Sundowns FC - Best Ball Control

Mamelodi Sundowns FC Image

Sundowns head coach Manqoba Mnqithi hopes Peter Shalulile will continue his fine goal-scoring form to retain the Championship title. Winning the 2023/24 ensured that Sundowns sealed a 7th consecutive Premier Soccer League championship and 14 titles in total. Though it might be too early to call, their Tiki Taka style of football from midfielder Tobeho Mokoena and co, which has earned them the nickname “The Brazilians,” puts them in pole position to retain the Betway Premiership title.

Orlando Pirates FC - Best Attack

Orlando Pirates FC Image

Coach Jose Riveiro will be willing to shake off the 2023/24 campaign and wrestle the title off Mamelodi Sundowns. Should he get the best from center forward Tshegofatso Mabasa who was the record goal scorer of the season and striker Zakhele Lepasa, then the Sundowns and co will have a club to contend with. Their attacking prowess was enough for them to secure a spot in the CAF Champions League but not enough to win the title. However, a continuation of their form makes them a club to watch out for.

Kaizer Chiefs - Best Goalkeeper

Kaiser Chiefs FC Image

Four-time winners, Kaizer Chiefs will be eager to bounce back from a disappointing run in their 2023/24 campaign. Head coach Nasreddine Nabi had a season to forget after his side finished 10th, their lowest in the PSL history. However, should goalkeepers like Fiacre Ntwari, Brandon Petersen, and defender Zitha Kwinika step up their game, then the Chiefs will be considered one of the favorites to lift this Betway Premiership and as well live up to the best goal-keeping accolades that the club has been renowned for.

Stellenbosch Football Club - Best Coach

Stellenbosch FC Image

Fans of the Premiership league soccer surely did not see this coming. After gaining promotion to the top flight in 2019 and winning the first edition of the revamped Carling Knockout Cup, the Maroons as they are nicknamed are tipped to continue in their run of fine form. Head coach Steve Barker can inspire players like Lehlogonolo Mojela, Langelihle Phili, and others to raise the bar in their attacking strength to improve on their position in the 2023/24 campaign. Having an eye for the top spot is expected of a club that finished 3rd in the league to book a spot in the 2024/25 CAF Confederation Cup.

SuperSports United - Come Back Experts

SuperSports United FC Image

A club owned by the South African group of television channels would be willing to pick it up from where they left it off in the 2009/10 season. Though, the club has not gotten a hold of the PSL title in the last 14 years, the current coach Gavin Hunt has got the backing of chairman Khulu Sibiya to return the club to its glory days. If players like Bradly Grobler, and Terrence Dzvukamanja can emulate club legends like Ronald Lawrence, and Abram Raselemane, then the Matsatsantsa a Pitori can just be the favorite for the 2024/25 Betway Premiership trophy.
