The final whistle blows for SAFA Sedibeng Regional League 2024/2025 soccer season
SEDIBENG.- With the SAFA Sedibeng Hollywood Men's Regional League season coming to an end, there is no doubt that Young Pirates FC will be crowned the 2024/2025 season league champions.
Pirates FC has been at the top of the log standings for the better part of the season, and with less than three games to play, they have already crowned the league champions.
Boipatong FC is currently second and VUT FC third on the log.
The gap between these teams suggests that Pirates FC will walk away with the title for the second consecutive year.
Last season, they were crowned Stream A winners and SAFA Sedibeng Hollywood Men's League overall winners.
Last season, the SAFA Sedibeng Regional League was divided into two streams, consisting of 20 teams. This meant each team had to play a total of 38 games. After they were crowned the overall champions, Pirates went on to represent this region at the Inter-Regional Promotion Play-offs. They, however, failed to secure promotion to the ABC Motsepe League.
As things stand, for the past three seasons, there is no team that has been promoted to the ABC Motsepe League. The last team to represent Sedibeng in the ABC Motsepe League was Vaal Professional FC, NWU Vaal FC, and VUT FC.
Unfortunately, these above-mentioned teams have since been relegated to the lower division – the Hollywood League, formerly the SAB Regional League. For the past three years, it has been difficult for the Sedibeng region to produce an ABC Motsepe League team.
Young Pirates FC will carry the hopes of local soccer fans to gain promotion to the ABC Motsepe League. With all the resources on home soil, it is a shame that this region doesn't have representatives in top-flight football, especially the semi-professional league.
