Vodacom Challenge

The Vodacom Challenge was an association football pre-season tournament that featured Vodacom-sponsored South African clubs Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs plus from 2006 onwards an invited European club.Prior to 2006, the competition consisted of the two Soweto giants and two invited African clubs.Tottenham Hotspur became the first non-African team to win the competition in 2007.According to the tournament promoter, Jabu Mathibela the tournament was cancelled due to "time constraints" before the 2012 season would have commenced.[1]
