MBABANE – The inaugural Women’s Ingwenyama Cup final will see Nsingizini
Hotspurs locking horns with Young Buffaloes for E20 000 prize and history at
Somhlolo National Stadium.
The first-ever Women’s Ingwenyama Cup final with kick-off scheduled for
12:30pm, both teams are eager to etch their names into the history books as the
inaugural winners of this prestigious tournament.
For the Tobias Ntuli-led Nsingizini Hotspurs, this final presents a golden
opportunity for revenge. The Shiselweni-based side will vividly remember their
2-0 defeat to the army team in the first Women Gender-Based Cup final at
Msunduza Sports Ground and will be determined to turn the tables this time.
There are standing in the way of Buffaloes’ potential three-peat as they still
have a chance to record a treble in domestic football this season. Nsingizini
boast dangerous attacking talent.

Keep an eye on the enterprising Ntabeleng Potsane and the prolific Zimbabwean
striker Kudakwashe, who leads the tournament’s scoring charts with an
impressive nine goals.
However, Young Buffaloes are league leaders for a reason and possess a squad
rich in quality and experience. They will look to their international stars,
Tenanile Ngcamphalala and Celiwe ‘Cece’ Nkambule, both known for their
goal-scoring prowess, to lead the line. Defensively, they are marshalled by the
lanky and battle-hardened Simangele Sikondze, whose experience spans numerous
local and international encounters.
With history, bragging rights, a significant prize purse and the narrative of
revenge versus dominance all on the line, this final promises fireworks. Only
after the full 90 minutes will we know which team claims the honour of being
crowned the first-ever Women’s Ingwenyama Cup champions.
