Spotlight falls on women’s soccer
Football loving fans in Sasolburg are encouraged to visit the Harry Gwala Multipurpose Centre to catch all the action of the group stages.
THE sporting spotlight turns to women’s football as the South African Football Association (Safa) and Sasol get ready to host the 2015 Sasol League National Championship in Sasolburg from December 7 to 13.
The seventh edition of the tournament will again feature the nine provincial champions from across the country who, after finishing at the top of their provincial logs, have earned themselves a place in the championship.
The battle will take place at the Harry Gwala Multipurpose Centre in Sasolburg where the week-long tournament will be held between: Cape Town Roses (Western Cape), the Bloemfontein Celtic Ladies (Free State), Coal City Wizards FC (Mpumalanga), Red Roses FC (Eastern Cape), Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies (Gauteng), Durban Ladies FC (Kwa-Zulu Natal), Kanatla Ladies FC (Limpopo), Als Puk Tawana (North West) and the Northern Cape side, Galeshewe Ladies/RC Mills Ladies.
The final match of the Sasol League National Championship will take place at the DP de Villiers Stadium on Sunday, December 13, at 15:00.
The championship will provide another opportunity for the South African national women’s football coach, Vera Pauw, to further scout for talent in the build-up to the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, for which Sasol Banyana Banyana has qualified.
Sasol League defending champions, Cape Town Roses FC, are gearing up to secure their title against the fierce competition.
As an incentive to celebrate the achievements of players during the tournament, Sasol and Safa will be awarding the Diski Queen of each match R1 000 in prize money and all individual award winners will receive R5 000 each.
Football loving fans in Sasolburg are encouraged to catch all the action of the group stages, quarter- and semi-finals at the Harry Gwala Multipurpose Centre.
