Nations cup final in Soweto
The u-12 Danone Nations Cup soccer tournament will take place in Johannesburg.
THE national final of the u-12 Danone Nations Cup soccer tournament will take place in Johannesburg on September 15.
Eight of the nine provincial winning schools have been identified with Gauteng being the final province to host their finals taking place on August 25.
Chantel Ehlers, Danone internal communications manager, explained that the nationals have been at Reiger Park for a number of years now, and they felt it was time to make a change.
“Reiger Park has been the national final venue for the past four years and we felt it was time to take our final to Soweto, the biggest township in Southern Africa.”
Danone’s mission is to encourage the youth to believe in their dreams and to encourage the development of healthy eating habits.
“It is a privilege for Danone to be involved with this event,” said Ehlers. “We are spreading our message of health through food to as many people as possible through this event.”
Every year Danone invites their staff from the factory and head office to the event to be part of all the activities and give them the opportunity to see the enormous talent in South Africa at the u-12 level.
The school that wins the national title will represent South Africa at the world final to take place in Spain in 2019.
