Teams from Kouga (5) Ndlambe (5), Sundays River Valley (5), Makana (5), Camdeboo (4), Blue Crane (5)
will be involved in knock out games in the second week of March.
Those qualifying will join three teams from Koukamma, Ikhwezi and Baviaans in the last 16 to be played in Port Alfred and Bathurst over the Easter weekend.
Zabalaza Sports founder Vukile Sonandzi added that the tournament is aimed at “revving up people’s spirits as we count down towards the World Cup.
We want this tournament to be the best that Ndlambe has ever staged,” he said. “There will be great prizes, razzmatazz you have not seen in Port Alfred and we may even get players and talent scouts from the PSL to come and watch youngsters in action,” he said.
