The winners receive R 8 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.[citation needed]
Like the EFL Cup in England, the competition name bears its title title sponsor; from its launch until 2002, it was known as the BP Top 8 and as the SAA Supa 8 until 2008.[1]
