DDFA applauds individuals for promotion of football in the district

The Dedza District Football Association (DDFA) has applauded individuals who are using their personal resources to promote football in the district.

General Secretary for the association, Hashim Shosholoza Adam, made the sentiments after Vincent Sayilesi, popularly known as Moya, assisted several clubs in the district with balls and other resources. Moya also paid affiliation fees for three teams to enable them to participate in the FAM Cup.

Moya’s gesture comes barely days after Ishmael Ajawa of NIJ Agro Mix confirmed his intentions to sponsor a division one league in the district.

“As an association, we are honoured by this kind of initiative as it aligns with our vision of ensuring that teams have resources and are able to participate in different competitions,” Shosho said.

He appealed to other stakeholders to join them in assisting teams for the betterment of the district.

“This is where players originate before they go on to play even in the national team, so giving them enough resources means helping them achieve their dreams,” he said.

When contacted, Moya, who is also the sponsor for Dedza Pirates FC, said he has great passion for football, hence the assistance provided.

“I am not looking at Dedza Pirates alone because we cannot play football by ourselves—we need more teams for fair competition,” he said.

Moya has assured teams in the district that he will continue providing support to as many teams as possible, as long as he has the resources.

“This will not stop until I see more teams doing well in the district,” Moya added.
