ABC Motsepe League side Nkowankowa Continental have announced open trials as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The trials will take place from 3 to 14 August at Nkowankowa Stadium B Ground, starting at 09:00 each day.
The club has invited aspiring footballers to seize the opportunity to impress the technical team as Continental prepare for another challenging campaign in the provincial league.
Players attending the trials are required to bring soccer boots, shin guards, a water bottle and suitable training attire.
Interested players can contact Sporting Director Doctor Ntimbana on 078 624 2783 or head coach Timmy Mashele on 078 195 5836 for further information.
The trials form part of the club’s recruitment drive after a difficult 2025/26 campaign in which Continental battled to avoid relegation before eventually securing their ABC Motsepe League status.
The club will once again rely on the experience of Timmy Mashele, who has been retained as head coach following his impressive impact last season. Mashele, who previously guided Phalaborwa United to promotion into the ABC Motsepe League, joined forces with Peace Khosa to steer Continental away from relegation.
With Khosa having since taken over at Mpheni Defenders FC, Mashele will now lead the rebuilding process as Continental target a much stronger campaign.
The club believes the upcoming trials will provide an opportunity to identify talented players capable of strengthening the squad and helping Continental climb the ABC Motsepe League standings in the new season.
