Personal message

I have been selected as the manager for the South African Men's Masters O50 Hockey side which is heading to the Masters World Cup in 2024.  
 
The Masters Hockey World Cup is an international tournament scheduled every second year and attended by more than 100 teams and 2000 players where the caliber of players and matches are of the highest standard, with many teams fielding former international players with 100 to 120 caps. 
 
Auckland will host the following age groups:
 
  • W O45, O50, O55 & O60 - National Masters
  • M O45, O50, O55 & O60 - National Masters
 
As hockey is predominantly self-funded in South Africa, players are unfortunately left to make their own way and fund these tournaments themselves. The tournament will take place between 4 November 2024 and 17 November 2024. 
 
Whilst we are reaching out to companies and trying to get as much sponsorship and funding as possible, we would like to appeal to individuals who are willing to assist us. Every little bit helps us in our efforts to get a team there and compete to the best of our ability. 
 
Making use of the official event pages – Masters Hockey World Cup, World Masters Hockey, SA Masters Hockey, sponsorship and individual social media channels to promote and share updates throughout the event.
 
All funding collected from this will be used towards the South African O50 team. Should there be companies or anyone willing to cover larger sums that can be used towards the tournament and sponsoring travel, kit and getting coverage they are more than welcome to reach out to me and I will gladly pass on all information. 
 
WC participation in Auckland is estimated to be approximately R58 000 per person.
 
The estimate is made up as follows:
 
• Flights : R23 000 
• Accommodation (13 nights) : R20 280
• Tournament levy : R 1 200
• Tournament transport : R 2 400
• Kit : R 5 000
• VISA : R 2 952
• Miscellaneous : R 2 922 (Coaches/Managers subsidy; practice slots)
• Total Cost : R58 000 (Rounded up)
 

Myself and the South African Masters Mens Over 50s Hockey Squad are seeking both personal and business fundraising for this years programme, training camps and then the World Cup in November!

All of the programme is self funded by the players, with travel, accommodation, entry fees etc…so we’re looking to ease the burden by raising funds from friends/family etc.

Any donation, no matter how large or small will go to help support myself and others represent their country, something which we have dreamt of from a young age and are priveliged to have the chance to now.

We are also open to non-financial support such as products and services, please get in touch for more information!
