Sotuh African Breweries (SAB), in partnership with the South African Football Association (SAFA), officially launched the Gauteng leg of the 2015/16 SAB League on Tuesday, November 10, at the SAB Gauteng Regional Office in Isando, Johannesburg.
The launch of South Africa’s SAB League was also used as a platform to hand over new kits to the 100 participating teams in the Gauteng SAB League for the upcoming season.
The SAB League is currently in its 15th edition after being formally established in 2000. Since then, the nationwide league has proven to be the breeding ground for top scouts and continues to be a talent identification hub for South African clubs which are in search of the country’s next football stars. Not only will the SAB League unearth quality footballers, it will now produce educated footballers who are able to make informed decisions about the future.
The SAB League kit handovers will continue across other SAB League regions during the month of November.
In line with the SAB League’s vision of its holistic development to football, the proud sponsors of the country’s largest development league announced its Study Assistance Programme that will see players participating in the league furthering their academic studies.
The Study Assistance Programme will officially kick off in the new season and will see players building a strong academic foundation to fall back on, past their football careers.
