Score for a good cause!
5FM will be hosting 5’s FIVES, its inaugural five-a-side football tournament in aid of youth sports development … and you can be part of this exciting event!
How it works:
Teams will be made up of 10 players each – one 5FM staff team, one SABC team and listener teams – competing for the coveted title of inaugural 5’s FIVES champions and some amazing prizes, including R10 000 for the winning team, R5 000 for the second placed team and R2 000 each for the Most Valued Player, the Best Goalkeeper and the Best Goal Scorer.
Legendary SA footballer, Janine van Wyk, who is the Captain of the South African Women’s Football Team Banyana Banyana and holds the record for the most appearances for South Africa in football will be joining the 5’s FIVES activities.
Janine’s JVW Football Club will add some extra fire to the matches, making professional players available to be drafted as part of the listener teams, as well as showcasing a super entertaining, high-octane exhibition match.
The tournament will be played according to standard five-a-side rules and regulations and will kick off with group stages. Each team plays three times and the team topping each group progresses to the semi-final where knockout-style elimination determines the winner. Players must be at least 18yrs old.
The entry fee is R2500 per team and proceeds will go towards buying much-needed equipment for youth football development. 5FM’s presenters will also be joining in the fun and adding to the pumping vibe as MCs throughout the day.
It is going to be a day of high-adrenaline fun in the company of the 5 Tribe of listeners and the best of the best in football, for an amazing cause, with top entertainment to boot. This is one you do not want to miss!
This fun event will take place on November 19 at the Old Parks Sports Blub in Bordeaux, Randburg, at 12 noon.
