The champions will receive a cash prize of E2 500,\u201d said Hlatshwayo. She also mentioned that the sponsorship was agreed to run through the course of their current season and would further engage South Star for continuation. Hlatshwayo continued to cite that other zones were starting to show interest, which means the establishment of the other zonal leagues would be slightly easier. She highlighted that previously they had a challenge with the number of interested ladies, which made starting a league in some zones seemed unrealistic. \u201cWe are working closely with Manzini and Lubombo to start zonal leagues there as well, especially with the improved interest,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><b>ensuring<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Hlatshwayo also highlighted briefly on the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Licensing Requirement of ensuring that the men\u2019s teams should have a women\u2019s team. She said that as the WFA they would not pressure any men\u2019s team as there were already teams playing in an existent league. The operations officer further highlighted that they were also in the process of determining whether they should start a Super League or a National First Division League for the ladies. This will then form a more structured women football body in terms of competition. As of now in the women football code in the country, teams do not get relegated or promoted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
