Women’s football tournament to showcase talent on East Rand
The games will be played at Elspark Sport Grounds in Boksburg from 10am to 4pm
THE road to this year’s Gauteng Women’s Football Tournament provincial finals continues this weekend with Ekurhuleni hosting the regional leg of the tournament on Saturday.
Teams made up of players selected during the local tournaments will compete for a chance to be in the final Ekurhuleni regional squad for the provincial finals in August, featuring women’s teams in different age categories, including U/13, U/15 and senior teams.
Organised by the Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation, in partnership with the South African Football Association (SAFA), the women’s football programme is aimed at developing and honing women footballers and also increasing the participation of women in the sport.
The event is part of the preliminary football festivals that are scheduled in all SAFA regions of Gauteng, which will culminate in the provincial finals that will take place during Women’s Month in August.
The games will be played at Elspark Sport Grounds in Boksburg from 10am to 4pm.
