Ockert Engelbrecht, a dedicated sportsman from Potchefstroom, has officially been selected to represent South Africa at the prestigious World Cup Paradarts Championships. The international event is set to take place in Belgium in November 2026, where Engelbrecht will don the green and gold to compete on the global stage.
A Career Milestone
For Engelbrecht, qualifying for the 2026 World Cup stands as the pinnacle of his sporting career. Representing South Africa has been a lifelong ambition, and he has expressed a deep commitment to intensifying his training schedule to meet the demands of high-level international competition.

The community and corporate sponsors are invited to support this local hero as he prepares to represent the nation. Donations will directly contribute to ensuring that Engelbrecht can focus entirely on his performance and bring pride to South Africa.
