Kwa-Thema – The Springs Local Football Association will be hosting a women’s soccer tournament this festive season.
The Raga Ball Tournament will see u-13 and senior female soccer players showing off their skills on the pitch with the hope of being spotted by soccer scouts.
The tournament is scheduled to take place from December 16 to 27, where the finals will be hosted at Kwa-Thema Stadium.
Mkhonza Mkhonzana said the objective of the tournament is to allow local teams, which are not participating in structural games to be exposed to it.
“There are very few league games for women, and young players are often not afforded the opportunity to participate in such settings.
