The bi-annual tournament is being hosted for the second time, after a successful inauguration tournament in 2010, prior to the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. This football tournament is a welcome addition to the City’s calendar of major sports events, which include the Pick ‘n Pay/ Cape Argus Cycle Tour and Old Mutual Town Oceans marathon.
All these sports tournaments are in line with this administration’s goal to establish Cape Town as the events capital of the continent. We hope that this competition will be the springboard for many youngsters, both local and international, to launch their successful professional football careers.
We urge local football fans to attend these matches to watch the next generation of football superstars compete for the championship. Some of the youngsters in this tournament will go on to represent their countries in future international competitions.
In support of the City’s volunteer programme, the City will also be making use of 150 dedicated volunteers who will assist in the efficient and coordinated success of the event. The City’s successful volunteer programme fosters the ideals of volunteerism within the community.
Tickets can be purchased at Computicket and Shoprite/Checkers outlets. Ticket prizes will be R50 grand stand and R20 open stand.
A transport plan for the tournament will be communicated to the public in due course.
