"The fact that the Charity Cup is coming to our area this year will definitely be a great advert for North West in terms of the World Cup," said Mosiapoa.
"There is no doubt that it will also mark the return of big-time soccer in Mmabatho. We appreciate the confidence that the PSL has shown in our ability."
Mosiapoa said the business sector in the area has already started with preparations for the tournament that will feature four clubs with the most votes.
