Benoni Spurs FC celebrates 35 years

Benoni Spurs Football Club celebrated its 35th anniversary recently, with a 77-team junior soccer festival.

Teams from all over Gauteng came to Willowmoore Park to participate in the event.

Young footballers from u-7 to u-17 showed huge potential to become great footballers one day and every player,from u-7 to u-12,received a trophy for their participation in the tournament.

It was more competitive in the u-13 to u-17 age groups,where round robin games were played and the two top teams from two groups competed for the semi-final places.

Benoni Spurs won in the u-13 and u-15 age groups, while Wattville Sundowns won the u-17 age group.

“Benoni Spurs, together with their local sponsors, can proudly say that this club has, in the last 35 years, contributed immensely towards uplifting communities, in that thousands of children have played the beautiful game of soccer and benefited from the club’s social responsibilities outside football,” said Naim Khan, Benoni Spurs FC’s vice-chairman.

Some of the social responsibilities in which the club has been involved over the past 35 years include assisting hundreds of students with bursaries, fighting racism in sport, painting a classroom in a school in Actonville, providing a soccer clinic and food for children from informal settlements and a blanket drive for the needy.
