I would like to thank African Express Airways for sponsoring this year’s edition and it is my humble appeal that they continue sponsoring all the football and netball holiday programs. As organizers our aim is to discover and nurture talent in the young stars and we need government to continue investing more in sports. This year’s edition has attracted 50 schools compared to the previous editions, Shafik said.
