History was made in Rovigo, Italy, as South Africa’s U20 side claimed a thrilling victory over New Zealand to win the 2025 World Rugby U20 Championship, marking their first title since 2012. This achievement highlights the success of the development pathways championed by SuperSport Schools, where many of the Junior Springboks first gained visibility in national youth tournaments before rising to global prominence[1].

In recent news, SuperSport Schools and SABC Sport have entered a partnership to expand the coverage of school sports across South Africa. This collaboration includes the launch of a dedicated SuperSport Schools channel on the SABC Plus streaming platform starting February 8, 2025, increasing accessibility for audiences and providing a larger stage for young athletes[2]. The partnership aims to foster grassroots participation, strengthen community engagement, and give young athletes new opportunities to showcase their talent on a national scale[2].

SuperSport Schools continues to serve as a central platform for live and on-demand school sports coverage across South Africa. With more than one million registered users, the platform’s offerings are accessible via DStv Channel 216 and the SABC Plus app, ensuring comprehensive exposure for youth sporting events[3]. Their ongoing efforts in promoting school sport have included game-changing magazine shows, live broadcasts, and highlights of emerging talents—contributing significantly to the growth of youth sports at all levels[4].

Recent high-profile matches, such as Grey College vs Sedbergh School (UK), have been broadcast live and on-demand, illustrating the platform’s commitment to connecting supporters, parents, and scouts with the next generation of sports stars[5]. School rugby results, talent forecasts, and major tournament updates continue to be featured regularly across SuperSport Schools’ digital channels[6][7].
