Good evening Teams, Coaches & Supporters,
As we close the Round of 16 at the *Atteridgeville Charity Winter Games 2026*, we pause to recognize every team that took the field.
To the *Last 8 teams advancing to the quarter-finals*: Congratulations. Your discipline, unity, and respect for the game have carried you this far. Remember, the higher you climb, the stronger your character must be. Stay humble in victory, stay focused, and keep playing with the same heart that got you here.
To the teams whose journey ends at this stage: Hold your heads high. You reached the Top 16 through hard work and commitment, and that alone is worth celebrating. As the wise words go, “It’s not about how many times you fall, but how you rise after each fall.” Every match you played, every lesson you learned, becomes strength for the road ahead. Thank you for your discipline, your sportsmanship, and for honoring this tournament with your presence.
To all teams: Win or lose, you have shown what this tournament stands for — respect, unity, and giving back through football. We thank you for your discipline on and off the field. You are all champions of this event.
Let’s carry this same spirit into the next round.
Kind regards,
Tournament Organizing Committee
