The main match between Tshakhuma Na Ndilani and FC KK is scheduled to start at 15:00.  R7 500, a floating trophy and gold medals are awaiting the champions of the competition in the senior teams. The runners-up will take home R4 500 and silver medals, with the third-placed team will receive R2 500 and bronze medals. The last team will go home with R1 000.

Individual awards will also be presented to the best player, top goal scorer, best goalkeeper, most disciplined player, best coach and the best referee in the tournament.

The champions in the U/13 category will become R2 500 richer and they will also receive a floating trophy. The second and third teams will receive R1 500 and R1 000 respectively.

FC KK are the defending champions. They will pin their hopes on their captain, Itani Ngange, and Mulalo Liphadzi for goals while their defender, Tshifhiwa Ndou, is expected to keep the danger area clean throughout. On the other hand, Tshakhuma Na Ndilani’s strikers, Rofhiwa Netshiungani and Ndamulelo Mukwevho, are geared to keep FC KK’s defence running. Tshifhiwa Mmbooi’s presence will give good shape to Tshakhuma Na Ndilani’s defence.
