Kapstadt CUP

Some of the finest youth football clubs from Cape Town, across South Africa, and Southern Africa will go head-to-head for the 2026 Kapstadt CUP titles. Featuring 40 clubs, more than 2,500 players, and nine age groups from Under-7 to Under-20, the Kapstadt CUP has established itself as one of the country’s premier grassroots football tournaments. The action unfolds over five exciting days during the school holidays, with matches hosted across three venues. This year’s tournament welcomes several debutants, including Wolves FC, Grassy Park United FC from the Cape District Association, Caledonians FC from Gqeberha, Teenagers from Namibia, the newly formed 7 Elite Academy from Hout Bay, as well as Panorama FC and Rovers FC from Gauteng. They join returning tournament favourites Stellenbosch FC, Antalyaspor JPM, and Mamelodi Sundowns FC as they battle for Kapstadt CUP glory and the coveted championship titles.
