The draw for the highly anticipated Bayhill Premier Cup tournament in Cape Town has been concluded.
The Bayhill Premier Cup is an annual Under-19 football tournament, in which the country’s best football talent go head-to-head at Erica Park in Belhar
The 36th edition of the tournament is set to take place over the Easter weekend from April 16, with the final match being contested at Athlone Stadium on April 21.
A total of 32 teams will compete in eight groups. The Western Cape is represented by 18 teams, with 14 teams from other provinces and abroad also competing.
“The Bayhill Premier Cup organising committee is geared and ready for action after a successful tournament launch and draw,” Rayaan Alie, Bayhill Premier Cup tournament director said.
“We are particularly interested in seeing how our local talent will fare against the teams travelling from abroad as well as the professional teams from outside the province. The draw set the tone for what is poised to be one of the best tournament editions’ yet.
“There are definitely going to be some great matchups which will be revealed once the fixtures are released later this month. We extend a special vote of thanks to all our partners and sponsors without whom this event wouldn’t be possible. Good luck to all the teams as they prepare for BPC2025.
“We appeal to our communities to get behind the boys as they vie for top spot at Athlone Stadium on the 21 April 2025. Get your tickets and let’s fill the stadium and give these players the atmosphere they deserve!”
Tickets for games at Erica Park will be sold at the gate, limited to approximately 3 800 maximum venue capacity. Tickets for the final at Athlone Stadium will need to be pre-booked online as advertised by the Bayhill organisers.
