Phillys Games

Initially there were only two teams that participated, however the response was great and the games ended up being a successful annual event.

The Philly's Games is an unforgetful experience for the community, more especially to those who can't afford to go to the stadiums to watch their favorite football stars but can enjoy the pleasure of watching them play live in their own backyards. The Philly’s Games were established in 1992 and the birth of these games brought a peaceful ending to the continuous political fights amongst two sections in the community of Tembisa. The games have been in existence for the past eighteen going on nineteen years, they have now created a huge fan base within the community of Tembisa and other neighbouring townships. The Philly’s Games now attract crowds of more than 10 000 spectators on a daily basis and hosts professional players in huge numbers as they come to participate. Most importantly the games plow back into the community of Tembisa by either donating money or giving gifts to the homeless and HIV homes.
