DStv Compact Cup – The Viewer’s ChoiceThe Premier Soccer League (PSL), in partnership with DStv is thrilled to officially announce an exciting innovation, the DStv Compact Cup. Since partnering with the PSL in September 2014 to deliver the MultiChoice Diski Challenge, now DStv Diski Challenge – a platform that allowed young talent to showcase their skills - the two parties have always looked at innovative ways in which they could uplift and grow football in South Africa.
The roles are now reversed, and we will come out better informed about the fans’ understanding of player chemistry through their team selections. “ Dr Khoza’s sentiments were also echoed by Chief Executive Officer for Multichoice South Africa Nyiko Shiburi, adding that the disruptive innovation comes at an opportune moment where viewers have been starved of close interaction with their stars since the pandemic outbreak. “We are truly excited to be creating such a powerful fan and club interaction platform in the DStv Compact Cup.
Then, from the 20th of December 2021 to the 3rd of January 2022, football fans across the country will have the opportunity to choose their favourite players from these teams using a safe and secure USSD code to form the regional DStv Compact Cup squad. All premier division players, with the exception of those selected for AFCON, will be eligible for selection. The final squad lists will be announced on the 5th of January 2022 with voting for the starting line-ups commencing on the same day and closing on the 12th of January 2022.

It will be refreshing that the responsibility of team selection, technical team and name choice will reside with the fans.
