Magesi FC’s rise in South Africa is being well documented across the board.
Dikwena Tša Meetse are in the semi-finals of the Carling Knockout, which serves as the League Cup, following a 1-0 win over TS Galaxy in the quarterfinals on Sunday, 3 November 2024.
To reach the quarterfinals, Magesi FC beat Orlando Pirates 3-2 in the Last 16.
Local football data-driven storyteller, Opta Jabu, has confirmed a significant change in the Premier Soccer League (PSL).
“Magesi FC are the first newly promoted side to reach the semi-finals of this competition since Free State Stars in 2007.”
Since the start of the PSL in 1996, the League Cup has been sponsored by different companies: Coca-Cola, Rothmans, Telkom, and today under Carling Black Label.
In 2007, Free State Stars went on to lose 2-1 to Mamelodi Sundowns in the semi-finals. The eventual winners that year were Kaizer Chiefs, who beat Sundowns on penalties in the final to claim the trophy.
In 2024, Magesi FC will play Richards Bay in the semi-finals and for Dikwena Tša Meetse, it’s an opportunity to create more history.
