The South African Hockey Association has announced a powerful SA Men’s Indoor Hockey squad for the 2025 Nkosi Cup, set for 12–16 December in Cape Town.
With New Zealand, Australia, Namibia and the USA all confirmed, the event promises another world-class indoor spectacle.
South Africa arrive with confidence after securing Africa’s first-ever Indoor World Cup medal earlier this year. They now prepare to defend their Nkosi Cup title for a third consecutive time, fuelled by the same exciting brand of high-tempo skills and precision that captured the world’s attention in Croatia.
Eight World Cup medallists return, including standout Player of the Tournament Mustapha Cassiem, who enters the competition with an incredible 118 goals from 47 tests. Veteran defender Jethro Eustice is set to become the most-capped SA indoor men’s player should he feature throughout the event.
The squad also welcomes back the experienced Ryan Julius, while debutant Travis Krumples joins after a strong Indoor IPT campaign.
