THE CHAMPION'S CALL

The Champion's Call is a compelling documentary that chronicles the bold, 14-year journey of the Carling Cup, an initiative that dared to reimagine the very hierarchy of football. Born in 2011, the tournament began as a pioneering pre-season clash between the Soweto Giants, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates. However, it was distinguished by a radical premise: giving the fans, the lifeblood of the sport, an unprecedented voice. For the first time, supporters were not just spectators but protagonists, wielding the power to vote for their team’s starting XI and even elect one of their own to become the “Champion Coach” on the day.
