Episode Details

South Africa’s men’s hockey team is on a thrilling run at the Nations Cup in Cape Town, punching their ticket to the semifinals — a major step toward promotion to the elite Pro League. After being unexpectedly invited to replace France, the squad is using this tournament as a vital World Cup warm-up, energizing local crowds and testing new talent. But a looming financial hurdle threatens their dream: promotion requires a hefty ten million rand they can’t currently afford. With sponsors being sought and World Cup funding on the line, the team’s focus is as much on building a sustainable future for the sport as it is on Saturday’s showdown against New Zealand.
