IT’S BIG thumbs up for the players, organisers, sponsors, supporters and everyone else involved the 2025 Bayhill Premier Cup held in Cape Town over the Easter weekend.

The Ubuntu Football Academy was crowned the 2025 champions, but everyone involved in the prestigious tournament can call themselves winners.

For the record Ubuntu beat Randburg AFC 2 – 0 in the final at Athlone Stadium on Easter Monday. All the other teams lived up to the expectations and produced quality football throughout the event.

Thousands of people turned up daily to witness the knockout stages being played at Erica Park in Belhar, while at the Athlone stadium 6000 pitched for the finals on Monday alone.

“This truly is a wonderful example of how organised sporting events can bring out the best in players, but also those cheering from the sidelines.

“The atmosphere was absolutely electric, and it is clear to see why this tournament holds such prestige.

“I want to thank each and every one who came out to play, their supporters and also the event organisers for the show they put on. We look forward to seeing you all again next year,” said the City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health,” Francine Higham. Source: City of Cape Town, Media Office
