On February 1, 2009 the Staatsregeringministrie vir Sport en Atletiese van Transvaal (Department for Sport and Athletics of Transvaal) and the Transvaal Voetbalsvereniging (Transvaal Association Football Union) announced the decision to host the third annual Transvaal World Cup in March 2009.
The inaugural Transvaal Cup was originally hosted in the late spring of 2007 as the Nordreich Victory Cup of Soccer (or Nordreich Cup for short). After the collapse of Nordreich, the tournament resumed a couple of weeks later under the name of Transvaal Cup.
The second Transvaal Cup was held in March 2008. Thirty-two nations participated and the tournament was won by Paraganea.
The Transvaal World Cup has been sanctioned by various CN soccer federations, the United Cybernations Football Associations (UCFA), Liga Mundo, and FIFOB.

Transvaal Cup Championship - Gold Medal[]
Referee Collina

COLLINA TO REFEREE GOLD MEDAL GAME
JOHANNESBURG FREE PRESS [JOHANNESBURG]: The Staatsregeringministrie vir Sport en Atletiese van Transvaal (Department for Sport and Athletics of Transvaal) and the Transvaal Voetbalsvereniging (Transvaal Association Football Union) have confirmed that world-famous Referee Collina will handle the Transvaal Cup Gold Medal Championship match to be played April 10 at Staatspresident Botha Stadium in Pretoria.
The Federal Government has also confirmed that Staatspresident Botha will be in attendance to watch the match and then present the the Breytenbach Memorial Cup, symbolic of the Transvaal World Cup, after its conclusion.
The championship cup is named after Hans Breytenbach, the Transvaal Minister for Sport & Athletics who instituted the inaugural Nordreich Cup in 2007 and then one month later was later tragically murdered in cold blood by then-Prime Minister Annetjie van Matteus on national television during a period of severe government unrest caused by FAN’s Operation Overlord.
APRIL 9, 2009
TRANSVALER DAAGLIKSE NUUS - Championship Final Preview: In their first TWC appearance last year, Arcadian Empire entered the tournament ranked 6th but ended up missing the playoffs by 2 points to finish 5th in Pool ‘C’. Arcadian Empire then had an easy time in the consolation round as they defeated PDSAR 4-1 and then Dun Carrig 4-0 to finish up in 17th Place.
This is Deutschland’s third appearance in the TWC, only one of four nations (along with Transvaal, Sooners, and Children of Odin) to have participated in all three tournaments. In 2007, playing in the then-called Nordreich Cup, Deutschland finished in 4th Place in Pool ‘A’ and made it as far as the quarter-finals before bowing out in 7th Place. In 2008, Deutschland was ranked in the top-six and won Pool C but then were upset in their opening playoff match after losing a player to an early red card. Deutschland finished in 9th Place – not before thrashing Melloria 4-0 in the first round of consolation placement matches.
Deutschland and Arcadian Empire have both competed in the same pool – Pool ‘C’ – in 2008 and 2009 in which they have split their head-to-head meetings: Deutschland defeated Arcadian Empire by the score of 2-1 in 2008 while Arcadian Empire won in 2009 with the scoreline reversed. Arcadian Empire goes into tomorrow's match as the last undefeated team of the tournament.

MAN OF THE MATCH: DEU Kahn (GK)
COMMENTARY: In what has been regarded a shock upset, Deutschland won the third annual Transvaal World Cup after forward Makaay scored an opportune lone goal at 59 minutes to steal victory from the jaws of defeat from an obviously more dominant squad from Arcadian Empire.
“It was a matter of substance over style” said Transvaal Springboks midfielder Detlef Botha, who was handling the colour commentary on the international television broadcast feed. “Arcadian Empire by far looked the better team today – in my humble opinion they should have won – however they could not convert their whole host of early chances into goals. They looked too fancy and pretty at times while Deutschland only had one real attempt which I would have called dangerous – an open net rebound off the right post but the ball missing by mere inches. Makaay’s goal was simply one of those shockers which just came fast out of nowhere and caught Arcadian keeper Toldo flatfooted. He intercepted a clear from the Arcadian left back, I think he then had two or three defenders covering him – they should have been able to stop or block him. My guess would be that Toldo was screened on the shot because he was real slow to re-act”
Thurston Alderton, goalkeeper of the Transvaal Springboks, took in the match with his family and commented the following to the press when asked for his take on the match: “I thought it was a classic goalkeeper duel, in that Kahn saw a lot more action than his opposite Toldo but he held the fort down better. When Toldo had to make the one important save, he came up short. Arcadian Empire really challenged Kahn of Deutschland, while Toldo was never really put to the test. Sometimes the more pressure a keeper faces, the better he reacts and performs because his reflexes and timing are sharper and better tuned to the game.”
“Arcadian Empire should have buried Deutschland in the first twenty minutes, but they didn’t and then tired out late in the second half when they needed to mount a comeback” was Springbok’s manager Bartnel Botha’s observation. “Arcadian Empire had the ball in Deutschland’s end for almost 25 minutes after the opening whistle but tried too hard for the perfect goal, if that makes any sense, when they should have just taken the easy shot. They wasted all their energy in the first half while Deutschland played a more reserved game, pacing themselves much better throughout.”
After the final whistle blew, both teams assembled at centre field as Staatspresident Botha and Prime Minister Jakob Hertzog appeared to present the Breytenbach Memorial Cup to goalkeeper Kahn, the captain of the Deutschland team. Botha then thanked all the teams and foreign supporters which had made the long journey to Southern Africa to participate in the annual event. He wished them all a safe journey home and expressed hope that everyone would return again next year to take part again in 2010 before he officially declared the tournament over for another year.
