Malawi: Chilobwe United Football Club (CUFC)is hosting an awareness and fundraising campaign on Sunday. The aim of the initiative is to gather financial resources for the football team.

The fundraising event will be hosted at the Naotcha Primary School ground during the weekend. The members of the Chilobwe United Football Club have invited people to support the establishment.

CUFC is a community football team from Chilobwe Township. The team is currently playing in the Southern Region Betika Division One League and is on position one.

They have garnered 25 points in the Southern Region Betika Division One League after playing 9 games.

The CUFC Public Relations and Event Manager, Julio Chimbuzi spoke about the significance of the fundraiser. He said the team has organised the event to notify the local residents about the teams vision and agenda.

“We noticed that many people in our community do not know that we have a football club that is representing us, hence organised this event to tell them how they can participate in the affairs of the team,” he said.

He added that during the campaign they will conduct membership registration for new members to join the football club. They will also sell merchandise to raise funds for the club.

“On this day people will have a chance to subscribe to our membership by registering with K5,000 and above and we will sell other promotion items like t-shirts, caps and golf-shirts which are already on the market,” he added.

The team publicist also revealed that they have invited special guests to grace the occasion.

“We have invited aspiring and current political leaders, business people and have extended our invitation to Football Association of Malawi and Southern Region Football Association,” he said.

Chimbuzi therefore called upon residents of Chilobwe and surrounding areas to attend the event and support the team.

“The event will start at 10:00 AM with a parade and stop tour from Naotcha Primary School going around Chilobwe community.

“Then there will be a mass rally from 2:00 PM at Naotcha Primary School ground where there will be different activities like selling of club`s merchandize, music performances, talent show and raffle draws” he said.

One of the artists that will perform at the place, Jetu has urged people to patronize the ceremony and support CUFC while having fun.

“People should come in large numbers, as the queen is ready to entertain them and they should prepare to dance to my new song titled Simunatchene,” she said.
