U8 Mini World Cup 2025 – A Celebration of Football and Friendship

Stephanian Ottery AFC lit up the pitch yesterday as we proudly hosted the U8 Mini World Cup 2025, welcoming passionate young footballers from across the Cape Town Tygerberg Green Zone to a festival of flair, fun, and fierce competition!

With the tournament split into two thrilling divisions—A Cup and B Cup—every child had the chance to showcase their talent against evenly matched opposition. The result? Non-stop action, nail-biting finishes, and smiles that stretched from Ottery to Table Mountain!

🏟️ Our very own Stephs fielded three brave teams, with the Stephs A team battling their way to the semi-finals, showing heart, hustle, and heaps of potential!
