Wikipedia - MTN 8

MTN 8 is the current branding for a South African soccer cup competition launched in 1972 for teams who finished in the top 8 positions of the league table of the country's preceding top-flight league (currently the DStv Premiership) season.

The winners receive R 8 million and the competition's trophy, which is one of the three domestic trophies attainable by its competitors each soccer season, with the other two being the top-flight league title and the country's premier knock-out competition, the Nedbank Cup.

Like the EFL Cup in England, the competition name bears its title title sponsor; from its launch until 2002, it was known as the BP Top 8 and as the SAA Supa 8 until 2008.

Sydafrika - Super 8 Cup

Sydafrikas Super 8 Cup er en fodboldturnering for de otte bedste hold fra den sydafrikanske Premier Soccer League. Turneringen blev grundlagt i 2007 og afholdes hvert år i januar og februar.

De deltagende hold er opdelt i to grupper på fire, og hvert hold spiller mod hinanden én gang. De to bedste hold fra hver gruppe går videre til semifinalerne, og vinderne af semifinalerne mødes i finalen.

Super 8 Cup er en vigtig turnering i sydafrikansk fodbold, og den giver holdene en chance for at vinde et trofæ og kvalificere sig til CAF Confederation Cup. Turneringen er også en god opvarmning for holdene inden starten af den nye sæson i Premier Soccer League.
