Preparations are underway for the annual u19 Bayhill Premier Cup (BPC)<\/strong>, also known as the Bayhill Tournament Premier Cup,<\/strong> which will be played in April.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, round-robin fixtures were played at William Herbert Sports Grounds<\/strong> in Wynberg, Cape Town.\u00a0The weekend’s action was streamed on the SuperSport School App<\/strong> and online and saw 24 teams vying for the 12 places.<\/p>\n

After the dust had settled, Stanturf United FC, Rygersdal FC, Ubuntu Academy, Hellenic FC, Jomo’s Power FC, Young Bafana FC, FC Porto, JL Zwane, Antalyaspor JPM CT, FN Rangers St Agnes, Eagles Performance Academy<\/strong>, and Valhalla United FC <\/strong>advanced to the Cup competition after finishing either first or second in their groups.<\/p>\n

Cape Town Spurs are the defending champions<\/strong><\/a> after beating FN Rangers St Agnes in 2024’s title game.<\/p>\n

The Bayhill Premier Cup was first held in 1989 and has since grown to attract top teams from across South Africa and beyond, serving as a platform for young talent to be exposed to a wider audience. Apart from the Cape Town teams, last year’s event included, among others, Virginia Academy<\/strong>, Chippa United<\/strong>, Stellenbosch FC<\/strong>, the University of Pretoria<\/strong>, and Mamelodi Sundowns.<\/strong>,<\/p>\n

International participants have included\u00a0Swansea City<\/strong> (UK), Zesco United<\/strong> (Zambia), Manchester Schools<\/strong> (UK), Hessischer Futbal Verband<\/strong> (Germany), Komeshu FC<\/strong> (Namibia), Three Kings<\/strong> (New Zealand), South Nottingham College<\/strong> (UK), Wiesbaden 1926<\/strong> (Germany), Gallant Academy<\/strong> (Kenya), SV Wehen<\/strong> (Germany), Dipetsana<\/strong> (Botswana), Windhoek Gymnasium<\/strong> (Namibia), and Young Warriors<\/strong> (Zimbabwe).<\/p>\n

Last year’s final, won 4-1 by Cape Town Spurs, attracted a crowd of over 10 000 spectators, with Spurs’ captain Denzel du Plessis<\/strong>, Faiz Abrahams<\/strong>, Jenairho Brock<\/strong>, and Jeandre Gaffoor<\/strong> netting for the winners, and Sergio Fransch<\/strong> replying for the runners-up.<\/p>\n

Numerous players, including Benni McCarthy<\/strong> who went on to win the UEFA Champions League<\/strong> with FC Porto<\/strong> under coach Jose Mourinho<\/strong>, have been identified and propelled to success through the Bayhill Premier Cup. Others to have strutted their stuff in the event include top pros, Thulani Serero, Nasief Morris, Lance Davids, Luke Baartman<\/strong>, and Percy Tau<\/strong>,<\/p>\n
