Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The collapsed Yambio Stadium is set to be renovated after nearly two years, the Yambio Local Football Association said.<\/p>\n

The association\u2019s President, Joseph Ndepi, said the South Sudan Football Association (SSFA) had pledged support after their meeting in Juba on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been using the Yambio Freedom Square for our local leagues since Yambio Stadium was destroyed by heavy rainfall some few years back. Yes, it helps us a lot, but we feel that for us to host national competition; there is a need for us to renovate our stadium,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018In our today\u2019s meeting with SSFA leaders, I tabled the issue of the stadium, and indeed, they promised to take over the renovation of the stadium, and that will be next year,\u201d Mr. Ndepi stated.<\/p>\n

According to him, the SSFA will dispatch a team to the region to conduct an evaluation of the stadium, following which the reconstruction process would begin.<\/p>\n

He did not specify which day or month the assessment and construction of the stadium would take place.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are hopeful that everything will go as planned, and if it does, Western Equatoria State and the entire country would benefit greatly,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ndepi also announced the Yambio Local South Sudan Cup finals, which will take place on Sunday this week.<\/p>\n

He said the defending champions of Western Equatoria, Yambio Stars, will battle off with first division side Al Wehida Fc, who defeated Nile City Fc in a penalty shootout.<\/p>\n

Yambio Star SC booked their ticket to the finals of the Yambio LFA South Sudan Cup after edging Kuzee United FC 1-0.<\/p>\n

In a repeat of last year\u2019s final, the two sides battle for the title of champions of the Yambio local league.<\/p>\n

The finals will be attended by SSFA deputy president Charles Udwar and senior government officials, according to Y-LFA president Ndepi.<\/p>\n
