Clinix Health Group proudly launched the 2026 Clinix Stix Morewa Soccer Challenge, reaffirming its commitment to youth development, community empowerment and the growth of grassroots football in South Africa.
Held at Clinx Solomon Stix Morewa Memorial Hospital, the media launch brought together football administrators, community leaders, government representatives, sponsors, coaches, players, members of the media and invited guests to unveil the next edition of one of the country’s most respected community football tournaments.
The Clinix Stix Morewa Soccer Challenge honours the enduring legacy of the late Solomon “Stix” Morewa, whose passion for football and community development continues to inspire generations of young athletes. The tournament has become a platform where talented young footballers showcase their abilities, develop essential life skills and pursue opportunities both on and off the field.
Speaking at the launch, representatives of Clinix Health Group reaffirmed the organisation’s belief that sport is a powerful vehicle for social change.
“The Clinix Stix Morewa Soccer Challenge is more than a football tournament. It is an investment in young people, their dreams and the future of our communities. Through this initiative, we continue to create opportunities for talent to be discovered while promoting discipline, teamwork, healthy lifestyles and social cohesion.”

The 2026 tournament will once again bring together talented teams from across the region to compete in a spirit of excellence, respect and fair play. Beyond the competition itself, the event continues to strengthen community bonds, encourage positive youth participation and celebrate football as a catalyst for hope and opportunity.
Guests at the media launch received an overview of the tournament programme, competition format and key activities planned for the 2026 edition. The launch also provided an opportunity for partners and stakeholders to reaffirm their shared commitment to nurturing the next generation of South African football talent.
Clinix Health Group expressed its gratitude to all sponsors, partners, football structures, community organisations, volunteers and the media whose continued support has contributed to the tournament’s success over the years.
As anticipation builds for kickoff, the 2026 Clinix Stix Morewa Soccer Challenge promises another memorable celebration of football, community spirit and youth excellence.
