DE-YELF CUP
De-YELF Cup: Using Football to Champion Positive Choices
The De-YELF Cup uses the reach and energy of football to engage young people around health, choices, leadership and community responsibility.
More Than a Football Competition
The De-YELF Cup combines sport with youth development and social advocacy. Alongside competition, the initiative creates opportunities for teamwork, discipline, leadership and constructive conversations about issues affecting young people.
War Against Drug Abuse
The maiden De-YELF Cup focused on preventing drug abuse through youth empowerment and community engagement, using football as an accessible platform for education and positive choices.
Combining Sport With Education
Participants are not only competing on the field. Educational engagement forms part of the program, helping young people receive credible information and reflect on the consequences of substance abuse.
Working With Stakeholders
The program has included engagement with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency as part of its drug-abuse awareness activities, connecting sport with informed decision-making and community responsibility.
