Teams shine at Waterstone Super Cup
Top-performing U13 and U19 boys' and girls' football teams from across Gauteng gathered at the Waterstone College Super Cup for three days of action-packed football from June 28 to 30. Hosted at Waterstone College in Kibler Park, Johannesburg, the tournament delivered thrilling matches, competitive energy and standout performances. Participating schools included Curro Soshanguve, Thatchfield, Wilgeheuwel and Aurora, and Meridian Cosmo City. Last year's champions, Waterstone College, Wilgeheuwel Academy, and Northern Academy, returned to defend their titles against strong contenders, including several affiliates of the Pitso Mosimane Soccer Schools. Former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane attended the tournament and emphasised the importance of school-level development. 'Football development starts when a player is young. They develop skills through practice. If that practice starts at school, it can only help a player grow even further,' he said. More than 850 footballers competed in the tournament held on Waterstone's top-tier facilities, including a FIFA-designated pitch. Executive head JC Engelbrecht highlighted the broader purpose of the event. 'Waterstone is committed to sports development. We want our school to produce top players. This event gives students the opportunity to express their sporting talent. The Super Cup is a festival of football, where passion, positivity, and respect shine the brightest,' he said. Engelbrecht added that the Super Cup is about more than football. 'It's about building community and promoting holistic education. We focus on a strong connection between academics and sport, helping students develop perseverance and emotional intelligence.'
