Innocent Kurira, Sports Reporter
FOUR development teams will battle it out in the inaugural Fortune Fokoza Foundation Under-14 soccer tournament in Entumbane tomorrow morning.

The tournament will see four teams, Zebra Revolution, FMSA Umguza Academy, City Rovers and Flying Stars Academy, taking to the field.

The four teams will play in a knockout format, with Young flying Stars set for a showdown with FMSA Umguza and Zebra Revolution taking on City Rovers.

Winners of the tournament will get a floating trophy, five soccer balls, medals, warm up t-shirts and a kit. The losing finalists will go home with medals, warm up t-shirts and two soccer balls.

There will be a special donation to the Entumbane community in the form of soccer boots to the most deserving Under-14 players.

Ncube, a former Motor Action and Bantu Rovers winger, retired prematurely from football two years ago after suffering an eye ailment and established the foundation to help develop young talent.

Ncube is now based in South Africa where he coaches at Sporting CP Academy. Before relocating to the neighbouring country, he coached ZRP Beitbridge in the Zifa Central Soccer League.
