From Thursday, 4 July until Saturday, 6 July 2024 – Durban will again play host to the annual Belgotex Elite Club Challenge (BECC), proudly sponsored by Belgotex Sport and hosted by Riverside Hockey Club at Riverside Sports. This year marks the event’s 10th year with the popular tournament having grown in stature to be the largest, elite club-based hockey tournament in South Africa with the largest prize money of R30 000 going to the winning men’s and ladies’ teams! Marking this significant 10th year milestone, the BECC promises to be an action-packed weekend in Durban North filled with even MORE exceptional hockey displays, entertainment, and camaraderie than ever before. What began in 2013 as a modest gathering of four prominent clubs (with only two years being interrupted by COVID-19), this event has blossomed into a SA Hockey calendar highlight featuring 16 top performing men’s and women’s teams from across KwaZulu Natal, Northern Gauteng, Southern Gauteng, and the Western Cape.
Adding to this year's main event is an additional qualifying section that will see four men’s and four ladies’ teams from KwaZulu Natal, Northern Gauteng, Southern Gauteng, and the Eastern Cape battle it out to claim a spot in next year’s BECC finals event that will replace the team that finishes 8th on the log in the 2024 event.
24 teams and nearly 500 participants will be participating in the event this year, showcasing South Africa's most successful and sustainable clubs battling it out on two world-class Belgotex Sport turfs for the largest prize money on the SA hockey circuit and the title of BECC champions.
Along with these stellar on field performances, spectators will enjoy an array of food and drink offerings, music and fun activations to keep the whole family entertained from morning until night! For spectators not able to join in the fun in person, the matches will be streamed on the Supersport Schools app.
