"We have been invited to play in America from July 13-18 for the Veterans Cup, where the grannies come together and play soccer. Not only grannies but everybody who is old. So my problem now, the challenge that I have, is that I do not have enough money," Ntsanwisi said。
恩灿维西说:“我们已受邀于7月13日至18日去美国踢元老杯。在那里,足球‘奶奶’们会聚在一起踢球。不仅有老奶奶,所有的老年人都可以参加。我目前最大的困难和挑战是没有足够的参赛经费。”
The team hail from a rural township near Tzaneen, 600 km (373 miles) north of Johannesburg. They came to South Africa's business capital last weekend to play in a tournament to raise money for their trip to America。
这支球队来自约翰内斯堡北部600公里(373英里)的察嫩的一个村镇。她们在上周末来到了堪称南非经济之都的约翰内斯堡踢球赛,为美国之行募集资金。
They played with credit, egged on by cheering crowds, before going down 3-1 to the Metro Rail Eagles, whose players are mostly in their 30s。
在比赛中,欢呼的人群一直在鼓励她们,但“奶奶足球队”最终还是以1比3败给了队员几乎都在30多岁的“地铁之鹰”队。
