Urban Academy<\/strong>, <\/strong>in Gqeberha, has made massive strides on the football field in recent seasons, and, from Friday to Sunday, they’ll host their annual Super Soccer Schools Tournament<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Since the start of the season, Urban Academy has been in outstanding form.<\/p>\n

A highlight was their performance at the Kearsney Soccer Tournament<\/strong><\/a>, where they went through the entire tournament without conceding a goal in open play. Their only defeat occurred in the final, where they lost to the defending champions, Pinetown Boys’ High<\/strong>, 3-1 from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n

Since that match, the Urban Academy team has regrouped and continued to improve their already exemplary record.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Super Soccer Schools Tournament kicks off, with Urban Academy being joined by, among others, George Campbell, Bridge House, Westview High School, Victoria Park High, Chapman High,<\/strong> and Linkside High<\/strong>, with competition taking place for both girls and boys.<\/p>\n
