MBALI #9 — DINALEDI FC | PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT 🌟
Conny Matjipa Women's Tournament 2026 — COMPLETED
Stream 1: 1-2 Aug | Polokwane
Stream 2: 22-23 Aug | Phalaborwa
Grand Final: 12 Sept | Phalaborwa — Dinaledi FC 1-2 Farm Girls United
I started this journey in Polokwane on 1-2 Aug and ended it in Phalaborwa on 12 Sept. Through it all, one player kept standing out.
Mbali from Dinaledi Ladies.
She scored in almost every game she played. Won 2x Woman of the Match in the Polokwane Stream and 1 in Phalaborwa during the semifinals. And even though Dinaledi lost 2-1 in the Grand Final on 12 September, it was no surprise when she was crowned Player of the Tournament.
Young, confident, and playing football way beyond her age. Every game she showed character — fighting till the last minute, even in a losing final.
That is a professional mentality.
I documented her from the first game in Polokwane to the final whistle in Phalaborwa. I can say without doubt: This girl should be playing in the Hollywoodbets Super League.
Dinaledi FC may have lost the final 2-1, but women's football in Limpopo found a star.
To any Sasol League or Super League coaches/scouts — if you need a versatile player that will deliver on big stages, Mbali is ready. Let's not let this talent go unseen.
Thank you Mama Conny Matjipa & Conny Matjipa Foundation for giving our sisters this platform.
