Sports

KMAD provided soccer kits to the Futebol Associacao de Localidade de Tupuito and initiated a soccer league for the villages within the area and the Kenmare company team.

Soccer plays an important role in entertainment in the area. In 2008, the local league was organised by the local soccer commission, independent of KMAD. KMAD provided full soccer kits to the two new football teams which participated in the league and sponsored the prizes for the winning teams.

The local soccer commission was very active in 2009 and managed to encourage the women living in villages near the Mine to form teams. As a result, five women’s teams have been created in the football clubs (which currently have male teams) of the local villages. The commission now handles the budget allocated to support sports activities.
