Said Jonazi: “The Finca Mpira Uyake Southern Region Football League is more than just football. It is a platform for bringing communities together, creating opportunities for young talent, and connecting people to financial solutions that can improve their livelihoods.
“We are excited and fully prepared for the season kick-off and we invite everyone to come for great football, entertainment and an opportunity to experience what Finca has to offer.”
