The “We Are Football” festival will provide football fans a chance to immerse themselves in football activities in a social setting.

The festival gives an opportunity for football fans to meet their heroes and heroines and talk and live football for the day. There will also be great prizes to be won from different competitions.
“Football is a beautiful game enjoyed by many in our country and we are excited to create the “We Are Football” festival. For us, it’s all about creating a world where former and current football players, fans and those passionate about the game of millions, can get together in a central venue to celebrate the game of football,” says Errol Madlala, Director of Pitch Sports Entertainment and Media (PTY) Ltd.
To unite people in their love and support for Bafana Bafana, Pitch Sports Entertainment and Media (PTY) Ltd and Newton Sports Agency (PTY) have roped in football legends such as Lucas Radebe, Doctor Khumalo and Mark Williams to help call on South Africans to “COME SHOW YOUR LOVE” during the festival.
The legends are part of the 25 years celebration of the first game for Bafana Bafana which took place in Durban on 7th July 1992. They will share their expert advice to participating teams and will also be judges for the different activations during the day.
Lee-Roy Newton, group MD of Newton Sports Agency, knows that football is part of the fabric of South African culture and says of the festival “South Africa has such passionate football fans and has produced many legends of the game. We are proud to be a part of an event that showcases the best of who we are as a nation and give people an opportunity to live out their love of the game”.
DJ Tira of Afrotainment and T-Bo Touch are amongst entertainers who will not only be the DJs but are also bringing teams to compete in the 6-a-side tournament, and are encouraging other entertainers, social and corporate teams and stockvels to do the same.
