The Engen Knockout Challenge kicked off in 2003. Over the last 20 years, the tournament has been renowned for being South Africa’s most prestigious football development tournament.
At Engen, we remain committed to awarding opportunities to young football players by showcasing their talent nationwide.
This year, the Engen Knockout Challenge will welcome spectators back to the stands to support their teams. The tournament will take place with all relevant safety protocols in place which all attendees must follow. The Engen Knockout Challenge will take place with full acceleration in three provinces: Gauteng, Western Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal.
