Urban Academy’s Super Soccer Schools Tournament kicks off
The Super Soccer Schools Tournament, hosted by Urban Academy, kicked off with provincial qualifications over the weekend in the Western Cape, where teams competed to claim national finals places by finishing in the top three positions of the u19 competitions for boys and girls.
In 2025, Urban Academy hosted the first edition of the tournament. In 2026, the event has expanded into a national competition, with the top three finishers in each of the provinces set to contest the finals in Gqeberha in August.
From Friday through Sunday, it was a bustling weekend in Cape Town, with many of the province’s leading football-playing schools in action.
After a series of intense group stage matches, the boys’ title game came down to a showdown between Pinelands High and Wynberg Boys’ High, with both already assured of their places at the national finals. It was tight, but Pinelands claimed a 1-0 win.
Joining the pair as representatives of the Western Cape will be Phandulwazi High School, which scored a 5-4 victory on penalties over De Kuilen High after a goalless draw in their third-place playoff match.
Earlier on Sunday morning, Pinelands High rolled to a convincing 5-1 victory over De Kuilen to reach the final, while Wynberg Boys’ High was extended by Phandulwazi High, but came away with a 1-0 win.
In the girls’ competition, South Peninsula High, one of the most exciting teams throughout the weekend, became the first winner of the Super Soccer Schools Tournament Western Cape provincial playoffs.
They met St Cyprian’s in the final, winning it 2-0. The all-important third place went to Bergvliet High, who scored a comfortable 3-0 win over Pinelands High.
St Cyprian’s had beaten Pinelands High 3-0 in the semifinals, while South Peninsula High also won 3-0 in their clash against Bergvliet High.
The next stage of qualification will feature Eastern Cape Schools, with the tournament hosts, Urban Academy, hosting it from 24 to 26 April.
