Durban City Set to Be Crowned Motsepe Foundation Championship Winners
The Premier Soccer League (PSL), in collaboration with the Motsepe Foundation, has officially announced the MOTSEPE FOUNDATION CHAMPIONSHIP CROWNING CEREMONY, which will take place on Tuesday, 10 June 2025.
The event will honour Durban City Football Club as the 2024/25 champions of the Motsepe Foundation Championship, following a successful and consistent campaign. The much-anticipated trophy handover will be broadcast LIVE on SuperSport PSL Channel 202 from 17h00, allowing fans across the country to join in the celebration.
🏆 Delayed Celebrations
While Durban City had already secured the title on the final day of the season, the PSL did not allow the trophy to be handed over immediately due to ongoing disputes and protests lodged by fellow clubs JDR Stars and Cape Town Spurs. Both clubs had filed formal complaints regarding alleged irregularities and match incidents that, if upheld, could have potentially altered the final standings.
However, after a thorough review and legal process, the PSL dismissed all protests, confirming that Durban City’s position at the top of the table was legitimate and unchallenged. With those matters resolved, the league has now cleared the way for the official crowning.
🟦 Durban City’s Rise
Durban City’s triumph marks a historic return to prominence for a club with a proud legacy in South African football. Under strong leadership and a dynamic playing style, they’ve not only secured promotion to the DStv Premiership, but also reignited interest in KwaZulu-Natal football development.
🎉 A Celebration Worth the Wait
Tuesday’s crowning ceremony promises to be a moment of joy and vindication for the club, the players, and their loyal supporters. With the Motsepe Foundation’s continued support of South African football’s grassroots and development tiers, the event will also highlight the Championship’s growing influence and competitiveness.
As Durban City prepares for life in the top flight, their story this season stands as a testament to perseverance, professionalism, and the passion that fuels South African football.
