Tune into e.tv this Sunday 10 April at 6.05pm for the launch of South Africa's newest reality show and meet the Coca-Cola Football Stars.
Bronwyn Keene-Young, e.tv's Channel Director, says the homegrown television series aims to turn the dreams of young, gifted and aspiring football players into reality: "It will bring them into the limelight and onto the playing fields as professional football stars."
Presented by Laura Kelly and Duke Motlanthe, the weekly series will cover all the drama, tears and glory of the Coca-Cola Football Stars high school football tournament.
The tournament gives high school players a real opportunity to become professional football players as the talent identification program begins with a credible and experienced panel of scouts including Steve Khompela, Dr Khumalo, Linda Buthelezi, Tebogo Moloi and Pitso Mosimane.
In Phase 1, there will be a preliminary round in each province, producing 43 provincial finalists. Phase 2 sees each province play knockouts to produce a provincial winner and in Phase 3 all nine provincial winners will travel to Gauteng for the National Finals where the Coca-Cola Football Stars winner will be determined.
The prize money for the winning school team is R250 000 with the runner up receiving R100 000. The remaining seven provincial finalists will receive R50 000 each. There are also great prizes to be won for the coolest three flair fans that support their team no matter what and have plenty of style and charisma.
