The ENGEN Knockout Challenge is an annual youth soccer tournament in South Africa hosted by Engen Petroleum in partnership with SAFA. First hosted in 2003, the tournament celebrated its 20-year anniversary in 2023 and is one of the longest running youth tournaments in the country. The tournament serves as qualification for the ENGEN Champ of Champs where the winners of the nine provincial titles battle it out to be crowned Champ of Champs.

In 2020, Engen announced the launch of the women's division to be contested by U/20 teams.[1] The 2021 Cape Town leg saw the first women's champion crowned.[2]
