Stellies ready to 'carry Cape football'

Cape Argus

August 01, 2025

Stellenbosch FC are ready to be the Western Cape flag-bearers in South Africa’s football top-tier this season, according to veteran goalkeeper Lee Langeveldt.

Local rivals Cape Town City were relegated at the end of last season, while Stellies finished in a credible third position for the second consecutive season.

The Winelands club also finished runners-up in the MTN8, and enjoyed a dream run to the semifinals in the Caf Confederation Cup.

Langeveldt feels the Maroons have become accustomed to carrying the Cape football's hopes on their shoulders.

“I think over the past few seasons, I think we were basically carrying Cape Town football,” Langeveldt said at the MTN8 launch at the SuperSport Studios in Randburg.

“Last season we won a trophy, this season we want to continue with that, winning trophies. Last season we made it to the semifinal of Caf, final of top 8, and third in the league. Now it's the next hurdle to hopefully win the League and win another trophy.”
