By Victor Stephan…….
Mzuzu District Football Association FAM League Champions have shifted their target on participating in Simso Innobuild League for the upcoming season following their impressive performance in the just ended Fam league and Beforward Bonanza in Mzuzu.
Speaking after a ceremonial match held at their backyard to entertain and show the trophies and medals from FAM League Chairperson for the club Samson Nyirenda says the team is ready for regional leagues to entertain their supporters and give chance to players to showcase their talents at the regional level.
“We organized this game just for our supporters as you are aware we won the cup away so this was for our home supporters going forward we are ready to take part in the regional league we are ready we have players and financial capacity to take part in the league.” said Nyirenda after the game.
However the team may face eligibility set back if a message from Northern Region Football Association Vice General Secretary Desire Bellings is to go by which directs district teams to play in Division one before joining Simso Innobuild League.
In a voice note message directed to interested teams Bellings advised the teams that the association will not allow teams that bypass stages set where a team is expected to play at district and division one leagues before joining Simso Innobuild League.
“I just wanted to clarify to all teams that this time for a team to play in the Simso Innobuild League it has to show consistency and committement at district league first before doing the same in division one then they can join Simso Innobuild previously we allowed newly formed teams to join our main league because we did not have these leagues.” Bellings said in a voice note shared to teams.
The event was graced by Mzuzu District Football Association Chairperson Mapopa Mgemezulu and Association’s General Secretary Alphack Mkandawire.
Sonda United went down by two goals to one in a thrilling encounter to the visitors non league side Motokabisa from Nkhata Bay.
