Department to Host Street Soccer Festival in Bonteheuwel

24 January 2014

On 24 January 2014, the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport (DCAS) will host a street soccer festival in Bonteheuwel to mobilise community interest in the Orange African Nations Championship (CHAN).

Since the start of CHAN 2014, DCAS have bussed in thousands of spectators from a number of communities in the Cape Metropole to watch the games at the Cape Town Stadium and Athlone Stadium.

The festival will see under 13 and under 15 teams from the Bonteheuwel area vie for top honours. The Fair Play, Player of the Tournament, Top Goal Scorer and Top Goal Keeper awards will be handed out at the end.

The festival has the potential to mobilise interest in CHAN 2014 and to promote the development of players at grassroots level.
