The 2014 Carling Black Label Cup was the fourth edition of the competition to be held.

A South African beer brand Black Label started the "Be The Coach" where fans elected the starting 11 of their desired players from the two Soweto derby arch rivals, Orlando Pirates, and Kaizer Chiefs.

The selected teams played the match on 26 July 2014 at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.

About

The Black Label Cup replaced the Telkom Charity Cup. Carling Black Label launched the campaign where fans got to select the starting 11 players to take part in this once off Soweto Derby between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday 26 July 2014. Fans had from June 2014 till 26 July 2014 to select their top 15 player via their mobile phones. During the first 45min, fans could send the shirt number of the player that they wanted to substitute via a text message. At 60min in the second half the player with the most votes were substituted.

Be The Champion Coach

The Carling Black Label also introduced an initiative where two fans had the opportunity to coach their club on matchday. One fan represented Kaizer Chiefs, the other, Orlando Pirates. The 'Consumer Coaches' were randomly selected to be coaches of their respective teams and got to be present at their team's training sessions, pre-match briefings and be part of the dugout with their team.

Requirements

To be eligible to be a consumer coach the fan should've voted either via their cellphone or at www.carlingblacklabel.co.za, a minimum of 11 times.^[1]

Consumer Coaches

• Tebogo Molekoa (Kaizer Chiefs).^[2]

Venue

The FNB Stadium was chosen to host this once a year event. The FNB Stadium, known as Soccer City during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, is a stadium located in Nasrec, the Soweto area of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is located next to the South African Football Association headquarters (SAFA House) where both the FIFA offices and the Local Organising Committee for the 2010 FIFA World Cup were housed. Designed as the main association football stadium for the World Cup, the FNB Stadium became the largest stadium in Africa with a capacity of 94,700, However its maximum capacity during the 2010 FIFA World Cup was 84,490 due to reserved seating for the press and other VIP's. The stadium is also known by its nickname "The Calabash" due to its resemblance to the African pot or gourd.
