The Past Prefects’ Association of Zahira College, Colombo is organising the ‘Zahira Super 16 Soccer 7’s’ for the 12th consecutive year on Saturday 8 October from 8.30 a.m. at the Zahira College Grounds in Colombo.
This is an inter-school invitational seven-a-side football tournament approved by the Ministry of Education and recommended by the Sri Lanka Schools Football Association. The tournament’s advisory committee consists of officials who are experts in the local and foreign football arena. It is conducted annually from 2005 with the objective of “adding more values to youth football in Sri Lanka”.
The Zahira Super 16 Soccer 7s will be played in a league basis consisting of four groups. Based on placing in the first round, teams will be drawn into four categories in the second round, namely the Cup, Plate, Bowl and Shield Championship. The Cup winners will be given a cash prize of Rs. 50,000 while total cash awards worth more than Rs. 650,000 will be on offer for other participating teams. This is the only football tournament in the country which offers such cash prizes and awards at the school level. The tournament’s organisers announced that Cargills Kotmale, a brand which has shown a willingness and enthusiasm to uplift youth football in Sri Lanka, will be the main sponsor of this prestigious tournament.
All the 16 teams participating in the Zahira Super 16 Soccer 7s will be powered by 16 prominent brands in the island. The teams and their respective sponsors are listed below.
