The Diadora Jozi Cup is a community based winter cricket club competition spanning
various age groups from under 11 through to the Veterans group which includes
both boys and girls, men and women. The competition is played with a pink ball,
coloured clothing and takes place at community club facilities across the Central
Gauteng district with all finals being played at the DP World Wanderers.
Now in its second year, the aim of the tournament is to grow the base of community
clubs, blending the wisdom of the old with the aspiration of today’s youth, and all
with the backing of the powerful Diadora brand.
The Diadora Jozi Cup overall club winner will take home R 25 000, with runners-up
bagging R 15 000.
The finals will take place over two weekends, namely 10, 11 June and the Youth Day
weekend: 16-18 June, with the Jozi Cup Awards ceremony set for 18 June 2023.
