Tolon District Football Association
The Northern Regional Football Association Juvenile Committee headed by Coach Dawuo on Saturday October 31, 2020 completed the registration of Juvenile players within the Tolon District.
Seven(7) football clubs took part in the registration exercise. They are:
Dinnani FC
Gomda FC
Waribogu FC
Sabegu FC
Beyom FC
SARI F.C and
Tolon Timtoni FC.
The registration exercise was very successful and a total of 225 players were duly registered.
However, some clubs could not get the required number of players to enable them participate in the district U15 tournament. Some clubs could only register as low as two players for the U15 category. Few players were turned away for being over aged.
sortsmrnews.com gathered that the low turnout was a result of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic which football had to be suspended for almost eight months in the country.
The District Football Association Chairman, Adam Ibrahim Homeboy appealed to the Northern Regional Football Association to allow for a top-up registration to enable teams get more players to be able to participate in the upcoming league. He also called on Parents, Guardians, Headteachers of the various schools and all Stakeholders to be proactive and help football grow within the District by making their wards available to participate in the league.
The Tolon District Football Association Chairman, also expressed his gratitude to the team for their hard work and the professional manner they conducted themselves at the registration venue.
Also present were the District Juvenile league Chairperson, Mr Haruna, IT personnel’s of the clubs, and Head Coaches of clubs.
