In 2009, we made a bold move to become the main sponsor of the SAFA Mangaung Regional League, supporting both boys and girls in the under 13, 15, 17 and 19 age divisions. Together with SAFA Mangaung, Interstate Bus Lines proudly hosted the IBL Champ of Champs for junior leagues from Botshabelo, Thaba Nchu, Bloemfontein, Dewetsdorp, and Wepener. The under 13, 15, and 17 winners from these areas gathered at the Mangaung Outdoor Sports Centre in Bloemfontein to compete for the overall championship title.
Here’s a shoutout to our fantastic teams:
Under 13: Overall winner: Vancouver Panthers (Botshabelo) Runner Up: Liverpool FC (Bloemfontein)
Under 15: Overall winner: Napoli (Botshabelo) Runner Up: Clever Boys (Bloemfontein)
Under 17: Overall winner: Azzuri FC (Botshabelo) Runner Up: Junior Manchester FC (Botshabelo)
Congratulations to all the teams for their incredible performances and sportsmanship. We’re proud to support the future stars of soccer!
