“As the city we have put measures in place to ensure the smooth running of the tournament. I want to urge the people of eThekwini to come out in numbers to support the participating teams. For the past two years the tournament finals were played at Moses Mabhida Stadium, this year we took a decision that the final match should be played at King Zwelithini Stadium so that the games are brought closer to the people,” said Nxumalo.
