Carling Cup All-Star XI’s Exciting Lineup Confirmed

Football enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the upcoming Carling Cup, where the All-Star XI is set to take on reigning champions Stellenbosch.

The event, scheduled for January 6, 2024, promises a captivating blend of football and music, creating an unforgettable experience for fans.

Kaizer Chiefs’ goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune, along with Pogiso Sanoka and Victor Letsoalo, has been confirmed to feature in the All-Star XI.

This unique team, selected by fans, comprises a mix of current stars and emerging talents, and will be led by Orlando Pirates coach, Jose Riveiro.

Beyond the football action, the Carling Black Label Cup is set to turn The New Peter Mokaba Stadium into a musical haven.

The event will feature performances by Makhadzi, King Monada, Thebe, and even Skeem Saam actor Clement Maosa.

The musical festival is expected to create an electric atmosphere, making it an event not to be missed.

To be a part of this spectacle, fans are encouraged to arrive early, as gates open at 12:00.

Tickets are available at just R40 each, providing affordable access to a day filled with football excitement and musical delights.

Carling Black Label is spicing up the competition with the Fak’ iGoal Uzobona initiative, offering fans a chance to win a share of R900,000.

By predicting the minute of the first goal, fans can stand a chance to win, with the figure decreasing by R10,000 for each passing minute without a goal.

To participate, fans can dial 120660# and follow the prompts, with the opportunity to win the remaining amount if the exact minute is guessed correctly.

Despite previous confusion regarding Itumeleng Khune’s eligibility, Carling confirmed that the goalkeeper is still in goal.

This comes in response to earlier statements from Kaizer Chiefs that mentioned Khune serving a suspension from football-related activities, a statement later clarified as an error.

Fans also have the power to vote for the Man of the Match, who will pocket R100,000.

Stellenbosch’s Iqraam Rayners, aiming for a fifth successive Man of the Match nod, is likely to be a strong contender.

Additionally, a substantial prize pool awaits the winning team, with R2 million up for grabs and R1 million for the runners-up.

What can be expected on the day of the Carling Cup

As the Carling Cup approaches, the anticipation is building for a day filled with thrilling football moments, outstanding musical performances, and the opportunity for fans to engage with exciting initiatives.

The New Peter Mokaba Stadium is poised to host an unforgettable event that celebrates both the sport and the vibrant culture surrounding it.
