Our young stars are about to step onto a bigger stage.

This Tuesday, the association will conduct the draw that will decide the opponents for our GG Grassroots Academy U14 and U16 teams in the upcoming cup competition. For these rising talents, it's a chance to test themselves outside their usual Junior academy fixtures — a taste of tournament football that promises drama, excitement, and the kind of pressure that builds champions.

But before we look ahead, let's take a moment to appreciate what our young Expandables achieved during the senior team break. In a series of friendly fixtures against MTS Academy, the lads showed exactly what this academy is about.

U13 0-0 draw
U15 2-0 Win
U18 2-1 Win

The young Expendables played with heart, discipline, and joy today. Moments like this remind us why we do the work. That spirit is exactly what they'll carry into the cup competition. The future is bright. Stay locked in.

The wait is almost over. Who will they face? We'll find out on Tuesday. Stay locked in. Coach Nyasha Meda will preside over the youngsters for the competition as Head Coach, assisted by Coach Tawanda Denhere.
