The Matsulu Community Development Soccer Tournament is an initiative by the Department of Culture, Sport and Recreation, Moroka Swallows’ player, Sandile Sibande and local football association.

The initiative was started to give pupils a chance to play competitive soccer and expose them to soccer scouts from the PSL.

“The tournament’s objective is to provide the players with a platform to play the beautiful game so that they could follow in the footsteps of their idol, Sibande,” commented departmental spokesperson, Sibongile Nkosi.
