The venue of the 2026 ASA Primary Sub-Youth Championships scheduled for 4-5 December, has been changed.

Featuring U/7, U/9, U/11 & U/13, this national track & field championship, has moved from Rustenburg to Potchefstroom. This decision has been necessitated by unforeseen logistical challenges and the unavailability of the originally scheduled venue of the Royal Bafokeng stadium in Phokeng, near Rustenburg.

Following urgent consultations, the Primary Sub-Youth Committee, the Track & Field Commission and the ASA Office collectively agreed that, in the best interests of ensuring that the Championship proceeds as planned, the event should be moved to Potchefstroom NWU McArthur Stadium under Athletics Central North West.

Even though ASA immediately informed member provinces in September of this development, ASA regrets that some Provinces and parents may have already made accommodation, transport and other logistical arrangements based on the original venue, but this was beyond the control of the respective committee, commission and the ASA Office.

We remain committed to ensuring that the Championship is successfully hosted and that all participating athletes, coaches and officials are provided with the necessary support.
