The USSA National Clubs Championships are held annually to crown the champions of USSA Football and to select the USSA Men’s and Women’s National Teams to represent South Africa at the 2015 World Student Games, which will take place in Gwanju, Korea.
In the last edition of the Games in Russia, the SA Women’s team finished in fourth place. The Men’s team failed to secure an invite as they did not do well, but could be in contention for 2015 as they are now second in Africa.
