Humanitarians FC, Njikwa FC Win Stanley Awudu's Male/ Female Friendship Tournament (2017) worth FCFA 500.000.

 There was euphoria and fanfare at Kungi on August 30, 2017 where a crowd of over 5.000 people gathered to support Ndinjo Stanley Awudu’s efforts to promote football development in Mbumland. Vuvuzelas trumpeted high echoing into the eucalyptus forests of Nkambe, Binju while the drumming and singing also echoed into the small low lands of Ngotong and Mamba. A football tournament for both men and women worth FCFA 500.000 FCFA described as the first of its kind in Kungi village was what had brought together the crowd. It was a unique moment for young talented footballers in Mbumland to portray their skills in order to convince the population whether Mbumland could ever dream of a 2^nd Division football team.

The tournament which has been described by football lovers and observers as a unifying tool entered into records as the biggest crowd pulling occasion ever witnessed in Kungi village this year. In fact it was a moment of merry making and for those who have never had the opportunity to express their gratitude to Ndinjo Stanley Awudu’s endeavours in promoting youth activities to do it in songs.

He told the population that Stanley asked him to transmit to them a message of peace and love. And that the reason for the tournament is to build and encourage young Talents. On the other hand, Samba Kinsley, coordinator of the tournament told the youths that football is a game that can make anyone rich like the Eto'os etc. He reminded the youths that what matters in football is not winning the trophy, what matters he said is the Fanfare that goes with it. He frowned at the youths of Kungi for refusing their peers from other areas to take part in the tournament.
