PRIMARY schools across the country are invited to become part of the biggest football tournament for children between 10 and 12 years old in the world by entering the 2016 Danone Nations Cup.
Over 1 500 schools register to participate in the tournament each year, all vying for the first prize, which is a trip to participate in the World Finals with 31 other countries. Primary schools across the length and breadth of South Africa have until March 1 to register.
Games will begin at cluster level immediately after registration closes. The winners will progress to the regional finals culminating in the nine provincial winners playing in the national finals to determine the national champion school.
2015 champions, Bree Primary School from Mayfair, Johannesburg, will be in action again this year and principal, Dave Kalicharan will be starting trials to select the team shortly.
To register contact your local Department of Education sports coordinator or the South African Schools Football Association (SASFA): Themba Tshabalala at shakesonthemove@gmail.com or 072 588 4957.
