14TH EDITION OF MAGICAL SWAZIBANK CUP IS HERE!

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

MATSAPHA – In the holy bible, the number 14 has a double meaning. I have not gone through the holy book with a fine tooth comb but the number 14 refers to the numerical value of the name David in ancient Jewish numerology.


It is also reference to the number seven, which in ancient Jewish numerology is the number of spiritual perfection.
As 14 is twice seven, its use implies a double assure of that virtue.
In the vanguard of the ever improving Swazi football, 14 marks the number of years the people’s bank, SwaziBank, has been associated with the people’s game – football.


As the holy book suggests, 14 is a Jewish numerology of the double the number of spiritual perfection, the perfect tournament, sponsored by the perfect bank, was launched in grand style yesterday at the beautiful Summerfield Botanical in Matsapha.
It was a double perfection all around.


In perfect weather conditions, a small well decorated marquee in the bank’s brand colours overlooking a swimming pool was just a perfect place to set in motion the 14th edition of the magical tournament which has proven to the crème de la crème of Swazi football since inception in 2004.
While true to Swazi time, it started well over 30 minutes late, but the ambience and huge attendance with all 32 teams represented depicted a perfect wedding ceremony for a tournament that is to football what salt is to food; what oxygen is to the lungs.


A tournament that has led the way with its new slogan for each edition, scintillating football, wondrous goals, shocking results and always living to the romantic biblical story line of the little David bringing down the lardy Goliath.
