Spurs finish sixth at 2025 EKC

Cape Town Spurs finished sixth in the Western Cape’s Engen Knockout Challenge tournament over the weekend.

The Urban Warriors reached the knockout phase of the competition after finishing at the top of Group A standings, having collected seven points out of a possible nine.

A 3-0 victory over Rock A Fellas was followed by a 0-0 draw with Juventus FC and a 1-0 win over Everton, which earned Spurs a spot in the quarter-finals.

However, the Urban Warriors were narrowly defeated 1-0 by the SAFA Cape Town Academy in a quarter-final encounter on July 12. 

The team bounced back with a 1-0 victory over Norway Parks in the positional playoff game on July 13 before taking on Everton on the same day.

Spurs wrapped up their 2025 Engen Knockout Challenge campaign with a 1-1 draw with Everton, who won 5-4 on penalties in the fifth-sixth place playoff match.

The Urban Warriors gained some invaluable experience from the annual tournament and they will be back stronger next year.
