Mbua said his reason for
unveiling the prize-money for the tournament early enough was to allow
individuals and organizations of goodwill who may want to sponsor some of the
prizes to be aware quite ahead of time.
According to him,
football is a language that is spoken worldwide and excites emotions across all
age groups and build long-lasting relationships.
He also disclosed that
the prizes in the female category have witnessed an increase from those of last
year as the management committee seeks to improve on the gender-equality
component of the tournament.
It should be recalled
that the tournament is scheduled to kick-off at the community field in Upper
Bokova village in the BONAVADA community on Saturday July 9 2016. The football project
seeks to keep youths usefully-occupied (using free time in an interesting and
dynamic way) during summer holidays, foster social interaction, give exposure
to local football talents and organize free eye consultations in the community.
The tournament will
feature both the female and male categories, with each team expected to compete
in both the league and knock-out phases.
The BONAVADA community
is found along the eastern slope of Buea, the capital city of the South West Region
of the Republic of Cameroon in Central Africa. It is a rural community with
mainly an agricultural population with a strong youth base. The community is
made up of 13 villages namely; Bokulu, Bokwai, Bonakanda, Bonganjo, Boteva,
Bova II, Bova II, Bwiteva, Bwitingi, Ewonda, Mwangai, Upper Bokova, and Upper
Bolifamba.
He said the prizes are
open for sponsorship and encourages individuals and organizations to tag their
names on the prizes.
