The USSA National Clubs Championships are held annually and are held annually to crown the champions of USSA Football to select the USSA Men’s and Women’s National Teams to represent South Africa at the 2015 World Student Games which will take place in Gwanju, Korea.

 

In the last edition of the Games in Russia, the SA Women’s team finished in fourth place. The Men’s team failed to secure an invite as they did not do well but could be in contention for 2015 as they are now second in Africa.

 

Invites are expected next month.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“We have made our mark in the World Student Games as a country with our ladies team finishing fourth in the last edition. We have a strongly believe that this time around they will bring a medal home. The Annual National Championships are a perfect platform for our teams to prepare for the highly esteemed World Student Games. We hope the players will seize the opportunity of performing to the best of their abilities,” said Nomsa Mahlangu, Chairperson of USSA Football.
