We are very excited to be welcoming over 1,000 teams to this year’s Target USA CUP!
FARPost X1 is from the same city in South Africa as current Minnesota United star, Bongokuhle “Bongi“ Hlongwane, and we are so happy to have them on campus.
Learn more about them below!
What is your team most looking forward to at Target USA CUP?
“To make friends, display our South African flair, and enjoy the new cultural experience.”
When you think of Minnesota, what is the first thing that comes to mind?
“We immediately think of our Bafana Bafana (Men’s senior National team), Bongukuhle Hlongwane, and the MLS.”
How have you prepared for Target USA CUP 2023?
“The team was selected from 5 Farpost Tournaments, which were held in Limpopo in 2022. We then had a selection in November/December 2022, and then a 10 days camp in 2023 leading to this tournament.”
What is one thing you would like to do while you are in Minnesota outside of playing soccer?
“We would love to attend a Minnesota United training session and official home match.”
What makes your team stand out from other teams? Is there a specific point of pride for your
club?
“We play possession based brand of football, characterized by inter passing and technical swag.”
Thank you so much for making your way to Blaine for the tournament. If you see them around campus, make sure to say hi!
