ENTER THE MUKETE CUP CHAPTER TWO.

 

The second Edition of the Mukete cup has kicked off in Kumba. Organized by Nfon Mukete IV Ekoko, Paramount Ruler of the Bafaw, this competition provides an opportunity  for all villages which comprise the Bafaw tribe to  come together and compete in a football tournament.

 Launched under the theme “Football at the center of Advancing Unity and Togetherness of the Bafaw”, this second edition was opened by Prince Ndoki Mukete, who was representing the Nfon Mukete IV Ekoko the Paramount Ruler.

In an address, Prince Ndoki Mukete urged the players to display a spirit of fair play in the course of the competition, while insisting that football is a beautiful game which should always gather and not separate people.

The opening encounter which took place at GPS (Government Practicing School) field, Kumba town, between Kumba Town FC and last year’s champions Bolo FC ended in a goalless draw.

Cheering the teams on the sidelines were football lovers, including administrative authorities in Meme Division, Bafaw youth and cultural groups who turned up to show their support for the tournament.

Sponsored with support from partners like CAMTEL, The Kumba City council and many others, the champions of this second edition will be crowed on the 27th of August.
