Nedbank Cup
is a South African club football (soccer) tournament. The knockout tournament,
based on the English FA Cup format, carries a 'David versus Goliath' theme. The
competition was sponsored by ABSA until 2007, after which Nedbank took over
sponsorship.
The 16
Premier Soccer League clubs, 8 National First Division teams, as well as 8
teams from the amateur ranks compete for the prize money of R6 million. The
winner also qualifies for the CAF Confederation Cup.
The teams
are not seeded at any stage, and the first 16 sides drawn out of the hat
receive a home-ground advantage. There are no longer any replays in the
tournament, and any games which end in a draw after 90 minutes are subject to
30 minutes extra time followed by penalties if necessary.

Most successful club: Kaizer Chiefs (12 titles)
