'Smart Cut' tournament a success
The Golden Bigs Sport Club are champions of the first-ever 'Smart Cut' tournament.
Golden Bigs defeated Foxy Senior Club 4-2 on penalties, following their goalless final encounter held late Sunday afternoon at Iikuku sports field.
The champions took home a trophy, branded football kits and a ball, while Fox Senior received a set of bibs and a ball.
Oshakati United handed Oshakati City a 1-0 defeat in the third position play-off and walked away with 15 sets of shin guards plus a ball.
The ministry of health sponsored the tournament in conjunction with the International Training and Education Centre for Health (I-TECH) to promote voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC).
Twenty-one men were circumcised during the duration of the tournament.
“Seventy-eight clients were booked for the service for the next week,” VMMC Oshana Regional Demand Creation Coordinator,” Harold Kandjii.
The tournament was a new approach of the MoHSS and I-TECH to attract more men and mobilise them for circumcision.
“This approach proved to be working as most community members showed a lot of interest, as demonstrated by the high number of spectators at the event,” Kandjii explained.
Rural community football teams will be engaged in the future, he said.
