The time has come. It’s the 2018 season of Varsity Football and regular contributor Charles Baloyi tells fans why they’d be crazy to miss the action on Thursday night.
There is a new team from Limpopo
New teams are like a breath of fresh air to any competition. It gets tiring to see old faces always competing for top honours every year. But thanks to Limpopo we have new kids on the block and they will be out to win the hearts of neutrals. Follow the new boys and see how their fairy-tale will end. They bring with them energy, songs and unpredictable style of football.
Free Pizza
We leave in tough economic times and the prizes of food have gone up. But thanks to the tournament’s loyal sponsors Debonairs Pizza, fans have a big chance to win some free pizzas to keep them warm during this winter. Who doesn’t want free pizza? We all want pizza so come one come all. Let’s have some free pizza.
Boost your wallet with moola from FNB
There are many prizes to be won at match venues and this includes a stunning incentive from leading banking giants FNB. The prizes vary from T-shirts to cash. Imagine receiving an e-wallet with a few bucks just because you attended a football match to watch your favourite team. Well, attend the games and get yourself in line to win a few bucks so that you can enjoy a lekker lunch during your study break. They are prizes galore and being at the stadium boosts one’s chances of being among the lucky winners.
Plenty of entertainment
There is a saying that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Experts always warn that it’s good to maintain a balance between academic and social life. Going to the stadium to watch the games offer one an opportunity to take a break from studying to enjoy a nice environment with plenty of entertainment such as music, dancers, singing and watch SA’s number one sport – football. It’s always a nice way to relax, hang out with friends and to recharge the batteries.
Selfies moment
You never know who you could bump into during these games. Big sports figures often attend the match and this can be an excellent opportunity to take a selfie with your favourite sports personality. We have seen the likes of Mamelodi Sundowns hard as teak midfielder Tiyani “Sugar” Mabunda attending some of the games last year and fans were afforded an opportunity to take pictures. Even big coaches such as Shakes Mashaba, former Bafana Bafana coach, are always in attendance.
