Soaring Local Talent: NJR Steel JHB North Supports the Flying Eagles

17 July 2024

NJR Steel JHB North is proud to be backing local sports by sponsoring home and away match kits for The Flying Eagles soccer team.


The sponsorship came just in time for the team’s participation in the prestigious Engen Tournament, which kicked off on 15 June 2024.

About the Engen Tournament

The Engen Tournament is the largest U18 soccer tournament in South Africa, held in Gauteng and the Western Province.


This year, the Gauteng tournament saw a staggering participation of 120 clubs, showcasing the best young talents from the region.

The Flying Eagles’ Journey

The Flying Eagles embarked on their journey in the tournament with determination and enthusiasm. Over two intense days, they played four matches in the playoffs, successfully qualifying for the group stages.


Competing against 40 other teams, the Eagles demonstrated skill and resilience, though they ultimately did not progress beyond the group stages.


Despite the setback, the tournament provided invaluable experience and lessons for the young team, marking their first appearance in such a high-profile event. The exposure and competition have undoubtedly set a strong foundation for their future endeavours.

We recently wrapped up our NJR Made of Steel DIY Challenge, and we were absolutely blown away by the incredible creativity and craftsmanship that South Africans brought to the table. We asked you to show us what you could build, and you truly delivered. One thing, in particular, became crystal clear: South Africans love to braai. It’s no secret that the braai is a core part of our national identity. It’s where we gather, where we celebrate, and where we share stories.  This passion was the undeniable theme of our competition, with the vast majority of entries being some form of a custom-built, one-of-a-kind DIY braai. From complex smokers to portable wonders and everything in-between, the entries made the entire competition feel uniquely South African. We at NJR Steel were incredibly impressed by the ingenuity and passion that went into every single project.

This past October 26th, the streets of Joburg were alive with the familiar energy and excitement of the 94.7 Ride Joburg. For the NJR Steel team, however, this race represented something far greater than just kilometers and finish times. It was a "Ride For A Purpose," a powerful initiative dedicated to championing the incredible work of Seeds of Africa . This wasn't just about cycling; it was about community. It was about channeling the determination and endurance of a cycling race directly into the hands of those building a better future.
