Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>DAR24 Media in collaboration with Spain Premier League\u2014 La Liga hosted a football festival in Dar es Salaam by competing against the city\u2019s top eight local teams, with the aim of encouraging young people to avoid drug use and trafficking.<\/p>\n

The competition was conducted through \u2018Shtuka-Piga vita dawa za kulevya\u2019 (Be alert, shoot-fight against drugs\u2019) campaign.<\/p>\n

The tournament, which took place on Sunday at Shoka grounds in Mburahati area, was attended by hundreds of fans who witnessed 150 youngsters from the teams that participated in the competition.<\/p>\n

Kitanki FC emerged the winners of the tournament after beating Palianda FC 1-0, in the final, and grabbed a prize of various sports equipment from La Liga headquarters, Spain.<\/p>\n

Palianda FC goalkeeper Athman Bonge was named the tournament\u2019s best player and was awarded a prize from DSTV.<\/p>\n

Speaking to journalists soon after the tournament, a representative of Dar24 Media, which is part of DataVision International, Shaban Kondo said the aim of the partnership with La Liga in organising the festival is to support the government\u2019s efforts in combating drug abuse; and visualising talent as part of youth employment.<\/p>\n

\u201cDar24 Media is focused on promoting positive change in Tanzanian society, including youth. That\u2019s why we launched the campaign. We believe that many young people participating in sports will see the value of their lives through talent and will not have time to think of using and trafficking drugs,\u201d Kondo said.<\/p>\n

He said that the Fifth-Phase government has been very successful in the war against drugs, but the world has not yet succeeded in eradicating it completely.<\/p>\n

\u201cThus, we\u2019re supporting these efforts by motivating young people who are the group most affected. And we believe that if we can take good care of this national workforce we will continue to grow economically and achieve a higher economy,\u201d the organiser said.<\/p>\n

Kondo said that the festival will be held every year and as it has shown great response to the youth and talents of its kind, asking football stakeholders and youth development enthusiasts to support the festival in terms of status and resources.<\/p>\n

The country representative of La Liga Alvaro Paya said the leadership of the league saw the efforts made by the Tanzanian government and Dar24 Media\u2019s efforts in promoting sports and changing the lives of young people, something which is in line with La Liga mission of promoting football in the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, they have decided to unite in promoting football to unveil talents and save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTanzania is blessed with different talents, we believe there are many Lionel Messis here and what is needed is to create a better environment for them to be seen. But in order to achieve their dreams, it is important to avoid drug use. That is why we as La Liga saw the Dar24 campaign as a success and joined forces to run the \u2018La Liga Street\u2019 competition through the \u2018Shtuka\u2019 campaign,\u201d said Paya.<\/p>\n

He said the efforts of the Tanzanian government in promoting talent are encouraging, calling on sports stakeholders to intensify their efforts and establish sports schools to prepare young people from an early age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
