Diski Shield (South Africa) 2022/23

The DStv Diski Shield is a South African football knockout competition for reserve teams of Premier Soccer League clubs. It operates as a pre-season tournament, typically held in July, following the conclusion of the DStv Diski Challenge. The event features the top eight teams from the previous reserve league season, competing through quarter-finals, semi-finals, and a final. Founded in 2018, the competition was established by the league in partnership with MultiChoice. Unlike the league format of the DStv Diski Challenge, which runs alongside the main season, the Shield provides immediate competitive exposure during the off-season. There is no promotion or relegation associated with the tournament. Kaizer Chiefs U23 have claimed the title multiple times, winning in 2018 and 2022. The competition was suspended for two years due to the pandemic and was not held in 2023. When the event takes place, the prize money is donated to community football initiatives chosen by the winning club.
