What's the story?
In what will be something different for local football fans, the DStv Compact Cup will afford some of the best players in the PSL to play alongside each other.
Fans had the chance to vote for the players they want to see in four different sides (Coastal Inland). In a knockout format of two semi-finals, a final and a third and fourth place play-off, the action will commence this weekend at the Moses Mabhida stadium.
Fantastic Four
First up, Coastal United will battle with Dinaledi, while Warriors FC will take on Amabutho in the second semi-final on Saturday.
At Chloorkop, Kabelo Moagi, Reyaad Pieterse, Kermit Erasmus, Rushine De Reuck, Gift Motupa, Lesedi Kapinga, Ricardo Goss and Gaston Sirino will go into the DStv Compact Cup as the Sundowns representatives.
Beneficial Tournament?

For as long as I remember I wanted Sirino nd Kapinga in starting lineup for Sundowns but it never happened nd this time around I have that chance to see what is in my mind is possible #Sundowns

All the best to the boys hopefully everyone will grab the chance with both hands ???.
Nonsense competition. Definitely won't waste my time
Sirino, Kermit and Rushine shouldn’t be taking part in this
