2024 - THE 10TH EDITION
With an expected turnout of 320 players in 2024, along with coaches, managers, and supporters from local and further afield clubs, PLUS an additional 160 participants through the qualifier, the 10th BECC event is set to be an even bigger and better affair.
Having been the brainchild of Riverside Hockey Club members, the importance of looking to nurture and grow clubs (not just teams) that have the right principles and systems in place to create a positive and sustainable environment to grow the sport has meant that from the outset very specific criteria was adopted to inviting clubs from different provinces to participate.
From its humble beginnings 12 years ago in 2013 (with two years of the event not taking place due to the COVID-19 pandemic), with just four teams to begin with the Belgotex Elite Club Challenge has now expanded to include 8 men’s and 8 ladies’ teams in its momentous 10th year of this event taking place.

BECC QUALIFIERS
The qualifiers in 2024 marks an important milestone of including even more clubs and teams to be part of the tournament, which will look to expand beyond just South Africa’s shores with the intention of including international representation into the tournament and making this grow from a national to global event.
From the outset this tournament was positioned as growing talent and providing clubs with a platform to compete outside of the existing SAHA and USSA tournaments in existence.
Some of the criteria ranges from grassroots level engagement to addressing transformation in the sporting and hockey world, and even how much of the club’s values resonate with the values of ‘pure hockey enjoyment’ that is the essence of the host and founding hockey club, Riverside Hockey Club.
The winning team competing in this years qualifiers, will win a spot to compete in the 2025 BECC Finals top 8 teams.
