- 22 teams competed in the 2025 annual VW Vaya Cup soccer tournament, but only two emerged as champions.
- In addition to lifting the VW Vaya Cup trophy, the top two teams have also won a bespoke international training camp experience.
“We saw some exciting gameplay throughout the tournament, with many teams and individual players showcasing impressive talent and skill, culminating in two thrilling finals,” said Martina Biene, Chairperson and Managing Director of Volkswagen Group Africa.
The tournament took place from 6 – 8 June and featured 22 teams: sixteen under-13 boys’ teams and six under-16 girls’ teams, all competing for the coveted title of 2025 VW Vaya Cup champions.
Launched in 2022, the VW Vaya Cup forms part of Volkswagen’s broader commitment to ‘Drive People Forward,’ particularly in driving youth development. For South African youth, soccer is more than a passion—it’s a platform for personal growth, teamwork, and national pride. Through this initiative, Volkswagen South Africa offers young players the opportunity to hone their skills, display their talent, and gain essential life skills such as cooperation and a sense of belonging - both on and off the field.
“The VW Vaya Cup is more than a tournament—it’s a celebration of youth talent and community around one of South Africa’s most beloved sports. We are incredibly proud of all participating teams and celebrate with our 2025 champions,” concluded Biene.
