β οΈ TOURNAMENT REFLECTION
As organizers, we acknowledge that there were planning challenges and time constraints that affected the smooth running of some fixtures. However, we pushed through to ensure that the tournament was completed and that the players still had a platform to showcase their talent.
We also want to address an important issue β player eligibility and age compliance.
Incidents of over-age participation go against the values of fair play, development, and honesty that we are trying to build in Lusikisiki football.
β½ This tournament is about giving young players a fair opportunity to grow and be seen.
When rules are not respected, it discourages development and undermines the purpose of grassroots football.
π Moving forward, stricter player verification processes will be implemented to protect the integrity of the tournament and the future of our players.

β€οΈ FINAL WORD
We are proud of all the teams and especially the young players who gave their all on the field. This is only the beginning β we learn, we improve, and we come back stronger.
Thank you for your continued support π
