To: All Team Managers, Vendors, Sponsors, Fans, and Participating Teams of _LEFA’s Annual Winter Games 3rd Edition_,
Greetings.
On behalf of the _LEFA’s Annual Winter Games 3rd Edition_ Organizing Committee, we extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who made this tournament a success.
*Our Sincere Thanks To:*
1. *All Participating Teams* – To those who won and those who lost, your effort, discipline, and sportsmanship carried this edition.
2. *Team Managers* – For your leadership, sacrifice, and for guiding your players on and off the field.
3. *Vendors* – For your dedication and service that kept the tournament running.
4. *Fans* – For your passion, support, and for bringing life to every match.
5. *Our Sponsors* – To our _Very Important People_ who make this tournament possible: Thank you for your support and belief in our vision. To the sponsors who did not receive fundraising letters this year, we apologize. We hope to have you on board in the next edition and we will reach out early to ensure you are part of _LEFA’s Annual Winter Games 4th Edition_.
*Payment Confirmation 💰*
The Committee confirms that *all participating teams have been successfully paid accordingly and immediately*. No team is outstanding. If any manager has not received confirmation, please contact the Committee directly and it will be resolved without delay.
*In Honour of Our Legend*
We continue to honour the memory of our legend, the late *Inspector Lefa Serakalala*. He dedicated his life to football. He took youth off the streets, protected them against drugs and cartels, and developed young talent. He worked to ensure that the black child’s future is secured through football.
We will continue to honour him by walking in his footsteps and protecting the same values he stood for.
*Community & Partnership*
As we continue his legacy, we hope to be joined by *Local Government and SAPS* to ensure community service reaches our communities. Together, we will use football as a tool for development, safety, and opportunity — just as the late Inspector Serakalala did.
May his soul continue to rest in peace 🕊️.
*Apology & Commitment*
Where things were not done right, we apologize unreservedly. We commit to learning, correcting, and improving every area ahead of the 4th Edition.
*Looking Ahead & Congratulations*
We hope to see every team return next edition, coming back stronger.
A special congratulations to *Portugal* for making history as the *2026 _LEFA’s Annual Winter Games 3rd Edition_ Champions* 🎉
Thank you for standing with _LEFA’s Annual Winter Games_.
Yours in sport and service,
*LEFA Annual Winter Games 3rd Edition*
