PRIMARY schools across the country are invited to become part of the biggest youth football tournament in the world by entering their U12 teams in the Danone Nations Cup.
The South African leg of this worldwide competition will start in April and schools have until 27 March to get their entries in.
The competition is organised with the support of the South African Schools Football Association (SASFA). Games begin at cluster level with the winners progressing to regional finals culminating in the nine provincial winners playing in the national finals to determine the national champion school.
The eventual national winners are awarded the honour of representing South Africa at the Danone Nations Cup World Finals in Brazil later this year and will be one of 32 national champion schools from across the globe.
Last year’s world finals were in London and Mpumalanaga’s Daniye Primary School represented South Africa and will be back in action again this year.
For their achievements, Daniye was named the 2013 Developing School Of The Year at the SA Sports Awards .
