MTN 8 is the current branding for a South African soccer cup competition launched in 1972 for teams who finished in the top 8 positions of the league table of the country's preceding top-flight league (currently the Betway Premiership) season.
The winners receive R10 million and the competition's trophy, which is one of the three domestic trophies attainable by its competitors each soccer season, with the other two being the top-flight league title and the country's premier knock-out competition, the Nedbank Cup.[1]
The competition bears the name of its title sponsor; it was known as the BP Top 8 and as the SAA Supa 8 until 2008.[2]
