Walter Sisulu Soccer Challenge

Each year Discovery and the family of great freedom fighter Walter Sisulu host the annual Discovery Walter Sisulu Soccer Challenge at the Nike Training Centre in Soweto, Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Walter Sisulu Soccer Challenge is a tournament which has a proud track record of giving the young, future stars of South African soccer a platform to perform. It has delivered professional players such as Kaizer Chiefs striker Siphiwe Tshabalala, Free State Stars and Bafana Bafana Striker Edward Mngele and current Bafana Bafana and Ajax Amsterdam midfielder, Thulani Serero.

The Discovery Walter Sisulu Soccer Challenge plays an important role in developing soccer in our country, and also brings together communities in a soccer festival where people are encouraged to take part in sport to lead healthier, more active lives. Sport goes hand in hand with physical fitness, healthy living and overall wellbeing.

In 2015, the Walter Sisulu Challenge will be held between the 1st and the 29th of December.
