GWERU – The inaugural Sheasham FC Social Soccer Tournament has kicked off with resounding success, drawing an impressive 36 social clubs from across the city in its first edition.
As part of Sheasham FC’s commitment to giving back to the community, the tournament aims to promote social cohesion, raise awareness about the dangers of drug and substance abuse, and provide a platform for networking and relationship-building.
Given the overwhelming response, the tournament is set to become a key annual event on the local sports calendar.
Sheasham FC board member for marketing, Munyaradzi Mafaza, said the tournament was established as a way of ploughing back into the community.
“The main goal of this tournament is to give back to the community that has stood by us over the years. We started as a social soccer club, but we managed to grow and eventually progressed to the Premier Soccer League,” Mafaza said.
Teams have been drawn into eight groups, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the next stage.
Winning teams will receive kits, trophies, and balls, among other prizes.
Sheasham FC currently plays in the Central Region Soccer League and recently hired coach Prince Matore.
The tournament will run for three weeks.
