Its all systems go for Kapstadt’s Lucky Star Cup at Hartleyvale stadium this weekend.
This year’s tournament will be graced by PSL giants Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns who were drawn into groups along with clubs from all over the country.
The tournament features under-7s to under-14s.
FC Kapstadt president and Lucky Star Cup tournament director Zaid Omar said for many young footballers it would be a dream come true to play against the likes of Chiefs, Sundowns, KZN Academy and Orlando Pirates.
“It’s a proud moment for Cape Town football.
“Never before has Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs or Mamelodi Sundowns participated in a grassroots football tournament right here in the Mother City,” said Omar.
During the media launch and draw, Omar emphasised that the organisers would take a zero-tolerance approach to abusive language and bad conduct by players, clubs, coaches and spectators alike.
He said the tournament endorsed the Cape Town Tygerberg Football Association’s #PlayandRespect initiative to stamp out poor behaviour at football matches and this would be a theme throughout the tournament.
