World Supercross announces first-ever South African race for 2025 season
In partnership with leading local event promoter Showtime Management – the team behind bringing global entertainment spectacles to the country, such as Monster Jam, Disney on Ice, Freestyle Kings, and Ultra Music Festival – World Supercross announces it will make a stop at Cape Town’s iconic DHL Stadium; the world-class venue renowned for hosting major international sports and entertainment events.
Cape Town follows London, UK, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, as one of the first announced locations in this year’s racing lineup. The South African round will take place on a custom-designed track with its own unique dirt profile.
“Expanding our racing calendar into Africa is a historic milestone for World Supercross and a reflection of our ambition to bring supercross to fans in every corner of the globe. South Africa has a rich sporting heritage, and we’re excited to put on a show with world-class riders and a fan first experience. Cape Town’s DHL Stadium is a spectacular venue, and we’re excited to showcase our championship in such an iconic location.”
