In a heart-warming gesture aimed at fostering Sports Development in underserved South African communities, the Hollywood Foundation proudly supported Siyaphikelela Football Club through its CSI programme. This initiative reflects the Foundation’s commitment to uplifting Grassroots organisations and ensuring that young athletes have access to the resources they need to thrive.

Founded in 2022, Siyaphikelela FC has rapidly become a cornerstone of the Ixopo community, with 42 dedicated players forming two Teams: under 17 and under 13. The Club practices diligently every day, channelling the energy of young people into positive pursuits. Through its CSI efforts, the Hollywood Foundation recognises the Club’s dedication and aims to enhance their capabilities. The Club’s recent success—winning three consecutive games and receiving medals and a trophy—demonstrates the impact of hard work and community spirit.

On 20 June 2024, the Hollywood Foundation Team, along with the Purple Team from the Ixopo branch, visited Siyaphikelela FC to present them with brand-new soccer kits. This contribution from the CSI programme was met with overwhelming excitement from the players and coaching staff alike, as it signified a step forward in their journey. “This support means the world to us,” said Pretty, the Manager of Siyaphikelela FC. “It inspires our players to dream bigger and shows them that their hard work is recognised. We are grateful to the Hollywood Foundation for believing in us.”

The visit provided essential equipment and reinforced the vital role that sports play in Community Development. Through their CSI initiatives, the Hollywood Foundation aims to foster a culture of Teamwork, discipline, and perseverance among young athletes, ensuring that they have the tools necessary to succeed both on and off the field. With continued support, Clubs like Siyaphikelela FC can thrive, creating future stars and inspiring communities for years to come.
