Cheerleaders That Rock 2025: Vote for Your Favourite Squad!

VOTING IS NOW CLOSED AND THE RESULTS OF THE POLL WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE JUDGES.

The entries are in, the pom-poms have been fluffed, and now it’s your turn to shine — because voting is officially OPEN for the 2025 Cheerleaders That Rock competition!

The top 3 teams will win cash prizes:

1st Place: R10 000

2nd Place: R5 000

3rd place is R2 000

This nationwide competition celebrates the incredible energy, talent, and spirit of cheerleading squads from the universities competing in the FNB Varsity Cup and FNB Varsity Shield—and now, the spotlight is on you to help decide who takes the crown. While public voting is a key part of the excitement, it’s important to note that it makes up only a percentage of the overall score. The final decision is a mix of public support and professional judging, done in partnership with the South African Majorettes and Cheerleading Association (SAMCA) to ensure fairness and credibility.

Below are the university cheerleading teams who submitted an official entry. Watch their entries and then vote in the poll for the squad you think should be the winner! Make sure to click 'See All Options' to view the full list.

UPDATE: VOTING HAS ENDED AND SCREENSHOTS OF THE RESULTS TAKEN AT 12PM ON 14 APRIL WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE JUDGES TO DECLARE A WINNER. NO VOTES TAKEN AFTER THE DEADLINE WILL BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.

Since Varsity Cup and Shield games are hosted across 16 universities around the country, the competition remains entirely virtual for now. This format allows us to include all participating teams regardless of their location, and ensures a consistent judging process while the competition grows.

How It Works:

Each team submitted their fiercest cheer video, and now those are being reviewed by a SAMCA judge. Your vote + their score = the team that takes the crown. 👑
