Trophy tours kick off
The Under-17 Skorpion Zinc Cup trophy tour kicked off at the Skorpion Zinc Mine in Rosh Pinah last Friday.
Cup Ambassador Congo Hindjou has called for larger turnouts at the remaining events lined up, before the tourney takes place in Grootfontein from 24 to 27 August.
Speaking at the Tsau //Khaeb Secondary School in Rosh Pinah last Friday, Hindjou hailed Skorpion Zinc and the local organising committee, and called on locals to support the events by turning up in huge numbers to rally behind their favourite region.
“This cup competition is very dear to my heart, as it gives young boys the opportunity to showcase their football skills at such a tender age. Many of the players who play in these youth competitions tend to make it to national team level and reach great heights.
“Namibia has Prins Tjiueza, a young talented player who was the top goal scorer at the Cosafa u-17 championship and he played in last year's edition of the cup,” Hindjou said.
He further emphasised the importance of education in relation to the social ills of alcohol and drug abuse.
“Education is all you left with when your legs can no longer carry you or kick balls.
“As much as you love football, love school ten times more; education has the ability to transform you into a better person, provide for all your needs and take you places.
“Therefore, you should study as much as you can and stay away from alcohol and drug abuse.”
