BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN

As the 2010 World Cup kicks off in Johannesburg, South Africa, today a local futsal tournament will kick off this weekend at the Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) Sports Complex.
Some 22 teams will battle it out to the top of the Pega Star Futsal Tournament to be held this Sunday.
The teams will be divided into four groups and only the top two sides can make it into the play-offs.
Pg Amirrulzam Pg Kamalludin, a member of the organising committee, hopes that all the managers of the participating teams could be present for the draw which will be held tomorrow at the Meeting Room of the Berakas Sports Complex at 2.30pm.
One of the teams that will feature in the tournament are Puspa FC, the defending champions.
However, it will be wise for them to be on guard as last edition's defeated finalists Kota Juniors are also in the competition.
"Hopefully this time we will be able to clinch the title," said Steven Yeo, the Kota Juniors manager, when contacted yesterday.
Other teams to watch out for are Redbutterfly, Xbiz and Syah Kampong who also competed in the previous edition. The group stage is scheduled to start at 8.30am, while the knock-out stage kicks-off at 7.30pm.
The champions will take home $500, while the first runners-up and second runners-up will get $300 and $200 respectively.
