Matungu Blackstars crowned NBA soccer champions in Matungu Sub-County
Matungu BlackStars was on Friday crowned the National Biosafety Soccer champion for Matungu Sub-County after beating Harambe United 3 goals to nil.
The Blackstar dominated the match for almost 90 minutes that was also attended by the NBA Board Chairman Mr. David Wamatsi.
The third place went to Bestar FC which beat Namasale FC 2 goals to nil at Mayoni Primary School in Matungu Sub-County.
Mr. Wamatsi applauded the talent that had been exhibited by various teams saying the government will support their development growth.
“We are all winners in this competition. I wish to appreciate all the team that participated in this awareness creation tournament that seeks to address the issues of misinformation and disinformation on GMOs,” said Mr. Wamatsi.
The tournament, which kicked off on September 6, attracted 112 teams from five sub-counties — Mumias East, Mumias West, Butere, Matungu and Khwisero — and will run until December 4.
Organised by the NBA in collaboration with the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Kakamega Branch, the competition is being run under the main theme, “Kicking Out GMO Misinformation Through Sports”, with the supporting message, “Playing for Facts: Advancing Biosafety Awareness and Combating GMO Misinformation Through Football.”
On Saturday, Eshitari FC and Ibokolo FC in Butere will face each other for the finals at Sub-County level.
