The
Northern Rhodesian Challenge Cup is a currently-defunct knockout tournament in
Zambian football created in 1962 and originally played by teams featuring
all-white teams. Following Northern Rhodesia's
independence as Zambia and the competition's rebranding as the
Zambian Challenge Cup in 1964, it included teams featuring black people in the country. The competition was contested by the top 8 teams of the country's league system (the equivalence of South Africa's
MTN 8). It was known by
sponsorship names; the
BAT Challenge Cup (1962–68), the
Shell Challenge Cup (1969–1981) and the
BP Challenge Cup/BP Top Eight Cup (since 1982) as sponsors withdrew from the country. • 1962 :
