Who will lift the Vhembe Super Cup?

The highly anticipated final of the Vhembe Super Cup Tournament will be staged at the Thohoyandou Stadium on Saturday. After beating Basel FC 2-1 in their semi-final match that was played at the Tshifudi Stadium on Tuesday, what is now standing between Madridtas FC and the trophy is Mashamba Soccer Academy, whom they will meet in the final.

Mashamba Soccer Academy’s way to the final went via United Artists, whom they had unexpectedly thrashed 3-1 in their quarterfinal match that was played at the Tshifudi Stadium last Sunday. They beat Masakona Young Tigers 2-1 at the same venue in their semi-final match on Tuesday to secure a place in the final.

The teams that were booted out in the semi-final round, Masakona Young Tigers and Basel FC, will fight for the third position in their losers’ final match that will serve as the curtain-raiser for the final. The champions of the tournament will receive R60 000, a floating trophy, three soccer kits, gold medals and 10 soccer balls.

The runners-up will take home R40 000, three soccer kits, silver medals and eight soccer balls. The third-placed side will be presented with R15 000, bronze medals, three soccer kits and six soccer balls, while the team that will finish in the fourth position will receive R10 000, three soccer kits and four soccer balls.
