MBABANE – The EswatiniBank has once again sponsored a ladies knock out Tournament with a total sponsorship of E175 000.


This emanated during the EswatiniBank Cup Tournament launch event held at the Royal Swazi Spa Convention Centre in Ezulwini yesterday. The announcement was made by EswatiniBank’s Managing Director (MD) Zakhele Lukhele. The 2020 sponsorship value reflects an increment of E25 000 compared to last year. This is the third edition of the ladies knockout tournament, which started in the year 2018.


“The ladies’ knockout tournament adds a significant dimension to the tournament. As a bank, we are committed to contributing towards the development of football in all dimensions being regional, youth, ladies and elite divisions. I am pleased to announce that the bank will once again sponsor a ladies’ knockout tournament with E175 000, which is an increment from last year’s E150 000,” said Lukhele.

The sponsorship replica cheque was presented by Lukhele to Eswatini Football Association President Adam Bomber Mtsetfwa and the Minister of Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs Harris ‘Madze’ Bulunga. In his address, the minister urged the women football teams to grasp the opportunity with both hands in a bid to develop football for all in the Kingdom of Eswatini.
When drawn for comment, Eswatini Women Football League Association’s Chairman Sonnyboy Mabuza said the prize breakdown of the ladies knockout tournament would be announced during the course of the week.


“The executive is yet to release the full prize breakdown. We are humbly honoured to EswatiniBank for putting us in their best interest and increasing the sponsorship as this is not only a sign of development of women football, but motivation for all the 13 teams,” said Mabuza.
He further mentioned that the ladies knockout tournament would commence on February 22, 2020.
