The Lucas Masterpieces Moripe December Games for 2008 will be held at two venues this year - Atteridgeville's Super Stadium and the Mbolekwa grounds - the Lucas Moripe Development Foundation has announced.
The games will be held from December 15 to 30.
Spokesman Abe Setlhako said that the format for the tournament will be round robin, featuring four streams, with the two top teams from each stream going through to the quarterfinals.
Moripe said he was proud to be associated with the games, and indicated that his desire for development has been fulfilled with the inclusion of Under-14s.
"This is the kind of legacy that I would like to see develop, with the youth participating fully in the tournament."
