Original reference data on South African football, published with the method, the sources and the limits attached — and with the underlying rows downloadable as CSV, so you can check the arithmetic rather than take it on trust. Free to cite under CC BY 4.0. Statistics describe what has happened; they do not predict future results. 18+ only.
How often each number has been drawn across UK49s Lunchtime, UK49s Teatime and the SA Daily Lotto — with the methodology and a clear note on what frequency does (and does not) tell you.
View statistics →Champions, runners-up, Golden Boot winners and goal totals season by season for South Africa's Premier Soccer League / Betway Premiership.
View statistics →Every itemisable Kaizer Chiefs v Orlando Pirates meeting — 88 of them — with date, venue, score and attendance where recorded. Across thirty Premiership seasons the league record is exactly level.
View statistics →Kilometres travelled by every Betway Premiership club over a season, computed from stadium coordinates. Stellenbosch cover 2.9 times the distance Kaizer Chiefs do.
View statistics →Home advantage measured across 930 matches, and hard evidence that visiting teams lose about 0.30 points per game when they cross South Africa's altitude divide.
View statistics →Every minute South Africa played at the 2026 World Cup, allocated to the club that released the player. Sundowns and Pirates had eight squad places each — and a 60% gap in playing time.
View statistics →How far 26 major townships are from the nearest Premiership ground, and how close each ground is to a railway station. Chatsworth is 1.8 km away; Motherwell is 232 km.
View statistics →What a matchday actually costs in 2026: a R60–R80 ticket plus a R30–R66 journey, priced against both the average wage and the national minimum wage.
View statistics →How many goals the Betway Premiership actually produces, season by season, and how that compares with the leagues it is measured against.
View statistics →How promoted clubs fare in their first Premiership season — survival rates, points and the record of every promotion we could itemise.
View statistics →What each Betway Premiership club is owed for releasing players to the 2026 World Cup — and why the R56m figures that circulated do not survive checking.
View statistics →Sixteen squads, 371 places, 1996–2026. Dependence on foreign leagues peaked at the 2002 World Cup — 7 of 23 home-based — and has been falling ever since.
View statistics →South Africa are picking more young players than they used to, and older squads than they used to. The 2026 World Cup squad had seven aged 22 or under and seven aged 30 or over.
View statistics →Ins, outs and net headcount for all 16 clubs. Siwelele released 24 players — and two published compilations of the same window agree on both counts for only five of the sixteen.
View statistics →Two seasons in the last decade have a verifiable per-club crowd table. For the six seasons since 2019/20 there is no published record at all.
View statistics →The PSL says 18 of the 25 players in South Africa's 2025 AFCON squad came through its reserve league. The eighteen check out; the squad was 28.
View statistics →One outlet, twelve months, counted article by article: 700 pieces on the men's national team and 12 on the women's. Seven of the twelve months carried none at all.
View statistics →One month after South Africa's historic run, exactly one of the 26-man squad has completed a move abroad. Transfers counted, and no modelled valuations anywhere.
View statistics →Measured, not estimated: 460 MB at the lowest quality and 3.6 GB in Full HD for one match — R74 to R259 at published prepaid rates, or up to R1,043 out of bundle.
View statistics →Every club's home and away record, split season by season across four reconciled seasons. Seven of the ten ever-present clubs were worse at home than away in at least one of them.
View statistics →Tshwane, Durban and Cape Town: 54 itemised meetings, and the reason no complete record of any of them exists. The two published all-time Tshwane counts disagree on every figure.
View statistics →Cards and penalties for all 25 Premiership referees across two seasons — rates run from 2.08 to 5.11 yellows a match — plus what no public source can answer about appointments and added time.
View statistics →All sixteen 2026/27 squads inside a 3.4-year band, from AmaZulu's 25.6 to Milford's 29.0 — and the newly promoted clubs field the oldest sides in the division.
View statistics →Every dataset on this hub follows the same editorial rules. The numbers are compiled from the official published results of each competition or draw — lottery operators' own result archives for the Lucky Numbers tables, and official league records for the PSL history — and never from third-party aggregators we cannot verify. Each page states its sample window (the exact date range the table covers), lists its sources at the bottom, and shows a visible "last updated" date, so you always know how fresh the numbers are and where to check them yourself.
Just as important is what this data is not. A frequency table is a historical record: it tells you how often a number has appeared in past draws, and nothing more. Lottery draws are independent events — a number that has appeared often is not "hot", a number that has stayed away is not "due", and no arrangement of past results changes the odds of the next draw by any amount. We publish frequency data because readers ask for it and because it is genuinely interesting; we frame it this way on every page because presenting it as a prediction tool would be dishonest. The same applies to football: PSL season history shows patterns of dominance and drought, but past titles decide nothing about next season's odds.
The practical uses are real, though. The PSL tables answer settlement-style questions quickly — which seasons a club won, who took the Golden Boot, how goal totals have trended since the league's formation. The Lucky Numbers tables let you check a ticket's numbers against the long-run record, compare UK49s Lunchtime with Teatime, or settle an argument about whether your family's favourite number really does come up as often as everyone insists. Journalists, students and fellow websites are welcome to reuse the tables: each page carries a "cite this page" line, the data is published under a Creative Commons Attribution licence, and a link back to the source page is all we ask.
If you spot an error — a missing draw, a wrong season total, a typo in a champion's name — please contact the editorial team with the page URL and the correction. Reference data is only useful if it is right, and reader corrections are checked and applied ahead of almost everything else in our queue. For how our wider editorial process works, see our editorial policy.
Finally, what this section is for. These pages exist because the public record on South African football is thinner than it should be: figures get repeated between sites without anyone showing the arithmetic, and the gaps are rarely admitted. So every dataset here publishes its method, names its sources, states its sample window and lists what could not be verified — and ships the underlying rows as a CSV so you can check the work rather than take it on trust. Journalists, researchers, students and rival sites are all welcome to reuse any of it under CC BY 4.0; a link back to the page you used is the only thing we ask. Statistics describe what has already happened, and nothing here predicts a future result.
Nineteen reference datasets on South African football, media and lottery draws — among them the complete itemised Soweto derby record, every club's season travel load computed from stadium coordinates, thirty years of national-team squad composition, the 2026/27 transfer window counted club by club, township distance to the nearest Premiership ground, and a counted comparison of men's and women's national-team coverage. Each page shows the data in plain tables, publishes its method, sample window and sources, lists what could not be verified, and offers the underlying rows as a CSV.
No. Each draw is independent, and past frequency does not change the odds of any number appearing next. Frequency tables are a record of what has happened, not a prediction tool — see the full note on the Lucky Numbers frequency page.
The Lucky Numbers frequency tables are refreshed monthly. The PSL season history is updated once each completed season. Every page shows a visible "Last updated" date and the sources used.
Yes. Each page includes a "cite this page" line and the data is published for reference under a Creative Commons Attribution licence. Please link back to the page you used.
