Stellenbosch FC Cup specialists on the rise under Barker’s steady hand
Club owner: Johann Rupert
Head coach: Steve Barker
Highest-ever finish: Third
Competitions: Betway Premiership, Nedbank Cup, MTN8, Carling Knockout Cup, CAF Confederation Cup
Silverware chances: Strong in all domestic cup competitions — a league title remains a distant dream.
Stellenbosch have charted a remarkable rise since gaining promotion to the top flight six years ago. Their success has been underpinned by continuity and vision, with Steve Barker — the league's longest-serving coach - leading the charge since day one.
Barker, nephew of the late Clive Barker, has overseen the club’s transformation into a model of sustainable growth. His knack for identifying and developing young talent has not only kept the club competitive but also turned Stellies into a desirable talent pipeline for local and overseas teams alike.
