One of the most important football institutions in the Drakenstein Municipality is the Mayoral Cup. This highly organised tournament is played under the auspices of the municipality with a clear vision for the community. Participants are local football teams. It is played along the same lines as the Fifa World Cup, in terms of format. Thus, the teams play in the group stages, initially, and then move on to knock-out stages, with the winner declared in the final.
