A recent video from a match at the 2025 DStv eKasi Champs of Champs tournament has garnered considerable attention. In the video, players engage in seemingly disrespectful acts towards their opponents, juggling the ball for over two minutes, and even pretending to sleep. Even the referee joined in on the theatrics at the end of the match.
This is simply the essence of kasi flava football. Its township style encourages such playful antics.
The 2025 DStv eKasi Champs of Champs brings together the strongest teams from Black communities in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and Limpopo. Despite its amateur status, the tournament is broadcast live on SuperSport.
The teams boast unique names, such as Covid-19 FC, known for their tactical discipline, and Skepe Nketole FC, nicknamed the "Chopper Boys" for their arrival by helicopter. Ladysmith Juventus FC, sporting a Juventus logo with a black mamba, displays a refined playing style.
