SD Mabaya FC Set to Host Inaugural End-of-Season Awards Gala

KILDARE, MPUMALANGA — The excitement is palpable as SD Mabaya Football Club gears up to host its first-ever end-of-season awards ceremony, a momentous occasion following the team’s stellar performance in the Ximhungwe County League’s central stream.

Chairman and CEO of SD Mabaya FC, Sipho Dzimba, recently unveiled plans for the prestigious event, signaling a significant milestone for the club and its supporters. The ceremony aims to celebrate the remarkable achievements of the team throughout the local league campaign, highlighting their dedication and hard work on the field.

The announcement comes on the heels of Mabaya’s impressive performance, securing a commendable eighth-place finish in the league standings.

The awards ceremony will honor standout performers across various categories, including the Young Player of the Season, Player of the Season, and Players’ Player of the Season, among others.
