The Sasol Women's League is the second-tier South African Women's association football league, sponsored by Sasol since 2013.[1] It is semi-professional,[2] and operates as a provincial league, with two "streams" of 8-10 teams in each of South Africa's nine provinces (in some cases, multiple streams per province), and each province's champion then competing in a single-location National Championship tournament.[3] The championships two finalists are then promoted to the (professional, first-tier) SAFA Women's League, while the bottom two teams in each province's standings are relegated to the SAFA Women's Regional League of their respective province.[4]
