As the Sunshine Champions League 2024 approaches, excitement is building among fans and players alike. The official draw has been unveiled, setting the stage for what promises to be a thrilling competition featuring some of the top pool teams across various leagues.

- Group A: Niceday Select (NPPL) finds themselves in a competitive group against Gladiators (HPPL), Braeside (PPL), and Birmcov (CMPL).
- Group C: Elusion (NPPL) will face Blueroof (PPL), Kasi Kasi (EPL), and Black Rhinos (HPL).
- Group D: BnB Ruwa (NPPL) must navigate past H.M (WPL), MaBoss (CMPL), and JST (PPL) in what looks to be a challenging group.
- Group F: Defending champions Leisure Centre (NPPL) are placed in a formidable group with Liquorama (HPL), Ligi-M (CMPL), and Legends (NPPL). This group is widely regarded as the "group of death."
- Group G: Last season’s semifinalists Pahukama (NPPL) will battle B4 (HPPL), Megga 11 (PPL), and Red Bull (EPL).
- Group H: Mega 1 (NPPL), another semifinalist from last year, faces tough competition from Milo Power (CMPL), Players (NPPL), and Sharks (HPPL).

The NPPL teams left a significant mark on the tournament last year, with Leisure Centre, Megga 1, Niceday Select, and Pahukama all advancing to the semifinals. This year, the challenge is to replicate or even surpass that success, with Leisure Centre aiming to defend their title against a field of fierce competitors.

The tournament kicks off on August 31, 2024, at 1400hrs. Every match in the group stages will be a battle of wits, strategy, and skill. The pressure is on, especially for Leisure Centre, who are determined to retain their championship status, and for other NPPL teams seeking to make their mark.

All teams are required to submit their final team sheets to the HPPA authority by August 27, 2024. This deadline is crucial to ensure all teams are properly registered and prepared for the battles ahead.

With the competition heating up, the question on everyone’s mind is: Can Leisure Centre hold onto their crown, or will a new champion emerge from the NPPL ranks? The Sunshine Champions League 2024 is set to be an unforgettable event, with each team bringing their best to the table.

The excitement is palpable as the NPPL teams prepare to clash with the best from other leagues. As the games commence, the world will be watching to see who will rise, who will fall, and who will ultimately lift the coveted Sunshine Champions League trophy.
