Sports fans, buckle up SuperSport on DStv and GOtv is basically throwing a world tour of insane sports this week. We’ve got the FIFA Club World Cup final, Wimbledon, Tour de France, LIV Golf in Spain, MotoGP doing their usual “let’s break the sound barrier” thing, and a whole buffet of other stuff I’m probably forgetting.
All times are CAT, so set your alarms or just, you know, don’t sleep.
Football,
The FIFA Club World Cup is about to drop the curtain. First, we’ve got Fluminense vs. Chelsea, and then PSG throwing down with Real Madrid. Semis are happening Tuesday and Wednesday night prime time for couch snacks—then whoever survives that slugfest gets to scrap for the trophy at MetLife in Jersey on Sunday. Yes, that Jersey. Bring your own pizza.
Chelsea’s new guy, Joao Pedro, is barely off the plane and already gearing up to face Fluminense his old stomping grounds. The dude’s getting texts from his Rio buddies, but they’re not wishing him luck, they’re warning him. Respect. “I’ll see a bunch of guys I used to play with or against. May the best player win!” Joao says. Translation: “I’m not here to make friends.”
SuperSport’s cranking it up with pre-match chatter, a million camera angles (okay, maybe not a million, but close), post-match nonsense, and commentary that actually makes you laugh sometimes. Basically, zero chance of missing any drama from CWC.
And hey, don’t sleep on the women’s game. SuperSport’s “Here for Her” thing is legit—they’re giving the spotlight to UEFA Women’s Euros and WAFCON this week. South Africa’s women, led by captain Refiloe Jane, are out to defend their trophy. She’s not messing around: “Winning is hard, keeping the title is even harder. But that’s what we’re here for.” Love that energy.

Nat Sciver-Brunt’s crew has been on a tear, and you just know Harmanpreet and Smriti are itching to flip the script. Over in the men’s game, the third Test at Lord’s kicks off on July 10. Stakes? Oh, just the whole dang series on the line. No big deal.
