//Kharas star shines bright at Newspaper Cup

In an inspiring performance at the 2025 Newspaper Cup, Chris-lee Vries, a standout footballer from the //Kharas Region, captured hearts and headlines by winning Man of the Match multiple times. His consistent performance on the pitch was a powerful statement, not just of talent, but of hard work, humility, and determination.“I feel accomplished,” Vries said with a smile. “Everyone can now see that my hard work is paying off.”Yet his tournament journey didn’t start off on the best foot. In the first game, he was benched, an experience he described as difficult and disheartening, especially with so many people watching. “It made me sad,” Vries admitted. “But when I finally got a chance to play, I made sure everyone saw my true talent.”The match against the Hardap Region stood out most for him. “We use the same technique, but we still won the match,” he said, highlighting the strategic mindset that helped his team triumph.Fitness, however, proved to be a challenge. “We were not as fit as the other teams, but we motivated each other and celebrated every win together.”Representing the //Kharas Region, often overlooked in regional and national competitions, made his achievements even more meaningful. “I felt proud to show everyone why they shouldn’t look down on us or our background.”When asked about his preparation, Vries was quick to credit his faith. “I practised a lot, but it was the grace of God and constant prayer that carried me through.”Interestingly, he shared that he didn’t feel any pressure during the tournament. “I am confident in my abilities.”To young, aspiring players, his message is clear: “Work hard, never give up, and stay away from anything or anyone that wants to come between you and your purpose.”With dreams of becoming a globally recognised footballer, Vries continues to showcase not only his skill, but also passion, resilience, and the spirit of a true champion. His journey is a reminder that greatness can rise from the most unexpected places, and that purpose, once embraced, is unstoppable.
