Kick up a storm with Danone soccer tourney
Primary schools in the highway area are encouraged to enter and take part in this exciting soccer event.
PRIMARY schools across the Highway are encouraged to become part of the biggest football tournament for children between 10 and 12 years 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 have until Tuesday 1 March 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.
“Through the Danone Nations Cup we are reaching kids at a crucial age,” said Chantel Ehlers, communications specialist at Danone. “We are passionate about making a difference to people’s lives and our mission is ‘bringing health through food to as many people as possible,’ which we are achieving through this tournament. We are also encouraging children to believe in their dreams.”
