Reminder: National Colours may be earned at 2025 SA National Online Championships to be held on 6 December 2025.

The National Honours Badge, as shown above, is awarded to Players who have earned National Colours at least three times. Barry Louzada of Mettlestate is one such recipient.

Athletes willing to earn National Colours may do so at MSSA's 2025 SA National Online Championships to be held on 6 December 2025.

To earn National Colours, Players must win all of their Matches.

The benefits of doing so, means that the athlete who has so earned such colours are included into the National Squad.

Should a player in the National Protea Team not be able to meet their commitments, MSSA is permitted to then draft players who have earned National Colours into the Protea Team.

Of course to be called up for service into the Protea Team, the athlete has to have a South African passport.

Of course the National Championship also counts as a qualifier for the 2026 National Team Trials (NTT).

        Gareth Heibner (PES Society) grabs pole position.

         

        Naeem Thomas (PES Society) above dominated MSSA's 2020 SA National Championships.

        Although Naeem Thomas (PES Society) won at MSSA's 2020 SA National Championships and took the titles of 2020 SA National Champion and that of 2020 SA Individual Honours, Naeem was pipped at the post by Gareth Heibner (PES Society) where the latter grabbed pole position in South Africa's official rankings.

        Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has the distinction of having started its ranking systems back in 2008 long before any other national federation. Over the years the rankings have enabled MSSA to run efficient championships on a regular and consistent basis.

        The full rankings for the PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER (PES) esports title are:
