Safa Joburg team fails to impress

JOBURG - The Safa Johannesburg U17 regional squad, which included seven players from Alexandra, failed to impress in the Gauteng Future Champions Cup.

The cup was won by defending champions SuperSport United after defeating Tshwane rivals Mamelodi Sundowns 1-0 in the final at the Eldorado Park Ext 6 soccer fields.

The Safa Johannesburg squad was eliminated in the group stages of the tournament. They were beaten 1-0 in their first match by SuperSport United, drew 1-1 with Mpumalanga Black Aces and won 1-0 against Johannesburg Secondary School.

As there were no quarter-finals in the tournament, the winners of their respective groups proceeded to the semi-finals.

All four winners of the group stages qualify for the international leg of the tournament, which will be held on a date still to be announced and will involve international teams from Brazil, China, Mexico, India and other African countries.
