South Africa have loaded their indoor artillery for December as the SA Hockey Men, powered by Tops at SPAR, were unveiled for the 2025 Nkosi Cup
This is a tournament Cape Town has turned into a December tradition of fast hands, hot goals and colder nerves.
Fresh off their history-making World Cup bronze in Croatia, the South Africans return home with momentum crackling off their sticks.
They’ll be gunning for a third straight Nkosi Cup crown, determined to show that their global rise is no fluke but the product of relentless grind and world-class execution.
Eight medal-winners are back in the mix, headlined by the irresistible Mustapha Cassiem with 118 goals in 47 tests and still only warming up.
Jethro Eustice stands on the brink of becoming South Africa’s most capped indoor international, a milestone built across years of big moments, bigger tackles and unshakeable leadership.
There’s a welcome recall for the dynamic Ryan Julius, while Travis Krumples, fresh from turning heads at IPT, receives the call every youngster dreams of: a national debut in front of a home crowd.
Tickets are moving at Test-match speed via the SA Hockey App, website and itickets.co.za.
