Liverpool FC Academy to visit South Africa for the first time

The Cape Town-based tournament features 2,000 grassroots footballers, 130 teams and 45 clubs, and was attended by more than 20,000 spectators in 2019.

Founded in 2010 as the country welcomed the FIFA World Cup, the event – hosted by FC Kapstadt – is designed to inspire young footballers in South Africa and throughout Africa by increasing competition and opportunities.

The Reds will send U12 and U14 teams and they have the chance of playing against some of the best youth teams in Africa including Al-Ahly, Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, Ajax Cape Town, Mamelodi Sundowns and many more.
