Africa-Press – Eswatini. The cheers of football fans in Mbabane East are about to get even louder!
Member of Parliament Welcome Dlamini has scored big for his constituency by unveiling a game-changing E80 000 annual football sponsorship, aimed at igniting community spirit, empowering young people, and promoting healthy living through sports.
A Game Changer for Local Football
The sponsorship has been carefully structured to give both men and women equal opportunities to shine on the pitch.
Social teams will benefit the most, with E60 000 set aside for leagues and knockout tournaments. A further E20 000 is dedicated to ladies’ football, ensuring women in Mbabane East are recognized and celebrated as rising stars of the game.
But the support doesn’t stop at money. Dlamini has pledged to provide playing kits for all social teams, a move that will not only level the playing field but also boost morale, professionalism, and pride among players.
“Every team deserves to step onto the field with confidence, looking like champions before even kicking the ball,” said Dlamini, flashing the passion of a true sports fan.
Investing Beyond Football
Football may be at the heart of this year’s sponsorship, but Dlamini is already looking ahead. Plans are underway to expand into other popular sports such as netball and pool, making sure that every athlete in Mbabane East has a chance to showcase their talent.
“This is about building a stronger, healthier, and more united constituency,” he said. “Sports bring us together, inspire discipline, and empower our youth. We are creating opportunities that go far beyond the final whistle.”
Community Spirit Takes Center Stage
The tournaments are expected to draw huge crowds, with families, fans, and aspiring athletes coming together to celebrate. For many, this initiative is more than just football, it’s a lifeline of hope, a chance for young people to stay engaged, and a reminder of the power of sport to transform communities.
As one local supporter put it on hearing the news: “This is not just sponsorship, it’s a victory for Mbabane East!”
