Provincial borders will be divided this week when the remaining contestants battle it out for a spot in the final.

This is after judges Kunal Rathi, Alexander Wessberg and Ibuki Yoshida gave their verdicts on the final-four contestants of the on-going South African Freestyle Football Championships.

The virtual event will crown the country's king of freestyle football and has seen some gruelling contests in the quarter-finals.

Mkhize, the Head of Freestyle for Southern Africa revealed the judging procedure to pick the semi-finalists.

"For the Top-8, one of the criteria is the time has been moved to 50-60 seconds and harder tricks were needed," revealed Mkhize.

"Secondly we are focusing more on difficulty now. We want the guys to dig deep bring out their best."

Northern Cape's Ebrahim will square off with Western Cape's Nahamuja while Gauteng's Busakwe will also take on a Capetonian, Rinquest in the other semi-final.
