The Castle Cape Town Tens is said to be the world’s biggest Tens tournament and Africa’s greatest rugby party. The two day festival starts on the 1st February at the Hamilton Rugby Club, where an impressive 90 teams spread over five divisions will take to the fields as well as international legends and SA’s very own Bob Skinstad and Rob Fleck will scrum up in the Veterans Division.

It’s a known fact – Capetonians love live sports games and everything that goes with it.  Besides the obvious icons that make our City so exceptional, Cape Town does host fantastic sporting events, which can compete on an international level – wouldn’t you agree?

Last weekend we witnessed Ajax Cape Town take on Manchester United in a nail biting game at the Cape Town stadium. This coming weekend we’ll watch the Stormers face the Sharks in the Super 15 Rugby semi-finals at Newlands on Saturday, 28 July 2012.

There’s nothing better than enjoying an exciting rugby match with your friends then celebrating your favourite team’s victory afterwards. But sometimes it can be a hassle to drive all the way home, especially when you’ve had one too many.

Cape Town is home to numerous wonderful elements and hosts many great (annual) events, such as the Cape Town Jazz festival and the Cape Argus Cycle Tour. We’re sure many of you already know that Cape Town will host a must-see soccer match between nineteen time English premier league champions Manchester United and our very own Urban Warriors – Ajax Cape Town on Saturday, 21 July 2012, at the Cape Town Stadium.

The news of this game has been buzzing all over Cape Town and the country for the past few months. Huge hype has been created online and offline. Many locals feel that this is a unique opportunity – to see Manchester United taking on our Urban Warriors live in our Mother City.

“The City is proud to be associated with a leading brand such as Manchester United and this association helps position Cape Town as a premier events destination. Matches such as this act as a great unifier of people and hence will have a very positive impact on the city,” said Grant Pascoe, Mayoral Committee Member for Tourism, Events and Marketing.

With thousands of tickets sold to date, the City of Cape Town has reported their plan to attempt to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the number of people singing collectively in one place. They would like to urge all spectators to sing “Happy Birthday” to South African icon, Nelson Mandela in honour of his 94th celebration.

This event will give Capetonians (and other supporters) the opportunity to re-live the soccer fever coupled with the 2010 FIFA World Cup. And those who went to the soccer games during the World Cup will remember how fun the Fan Walk to the stadium was and how hectic traffic was, therefore so supporters are urged to arrive early and make use of the MyCiTi bus.

Kick off time is at 15h00  and there will be no parking available at the stadium so it would be wise to make use of the numerous public transport options  (including the MyCiTi bus) available on Saturday.
