Commitment to local football
MultiChoice has long had a strong association with South African football – even spending a period as the league’s headline sponsor.
It continues to invest heavily into South Africa’s Premier Soccer League (PSL), and plays the role of broadcaster for all 240 PSL matches each season.
If you are a DStv subscriber, you can rest assured that you will never miss a second of PSL action.
However, MultiChoice’s commitment to local football extends beyond the PSL.
It founded the DStv Diski Challenge in 2014, which is the youth/reserve league for many of the top PSL teams.
The DStv Diski Challenge is broadcast on SuperSport every weekend, giving South Africa’s future stars a platform to show their potential.
Since its inception in 2014, the DStv Diski Challenge has received R450 million in investment from MultiChoice, and over 300 young players have been promoted from the competition to PSL senior teams.
The league’s biggest successes include Bafana Bafana stars like Percy Tau, Teboho Mokoena, Evidence Makgopa, Jayden Adams, Oswin Appolis, and Thapelo Maseko.
Such an impressive track record of success in 10 years of existence means the DStv Diski Challenge has become developmental bedrock of South African football.
