The Vukile DISKI FANFEST is about creating a space where families, friends, and fans can come together, enjoy world-class entertainment, and celebrate the game we all love.

In line with our vision to create not only shopping destinations but also centres of growth for all the communities we serve, we are proud to share this one-of-a-kind national experience with our shoppers, which will also enrich communities through various soccer development activities,” says Marijke Coetzee, Vukile’s Director of Marketing and Communications.

Doctor Khumalo adds, “Soccer has given me so much, and this is about giving back — inspiring the next generation while bringing communities together to share in the spirit of the game.”

A game-changing goal

More than local heroes, lively fans, and lasting memories, the experience will leave each community better off because the Vukile DISKI FANFEST celebrates the beautiful game while inspiring, growing, and investing in local soccer talent.
