Agents and scouts from almost every South African club that employs recruitment staff, and a few international representatives, will be in Cape Town this week to see if they can unearth the next big talent.
iDiski Times has gathered that the tournament organisers have been inundated with requests for scouting accreditations, as the agents and scouts hope to discover some of the unknown talent playing at this year’s 35th edition.
Tickets are available at WebTickets, alternatively for those outside of Cape Town, the tournament will be streamed on the SuperSport Schools App and DStv channel 216.
