The Eswatini Football Association (EFA) has thanked His Majesty King Mswati III for gracing the SMVAF Ingwenyama Cup Prize Presentation Ceremony held at the Ezulwini Pallazo.
The mother body said this through a press statement following the recent auspicious event that saw the crowning of the eight editions in Nsingizinu Hotspurs, Young Buffaloes Ladies, and Louis XI (regions).
“The attendance of His Majesty at this prestigious occasion was a moment of great significance for the football fraternity and the nation at large. It reaffirmed the importance of football as a unifying force in society and demonstrated the value of continued royal support for the development of sport in the Kingdom of Eswatini,” the mother body said.
The mother body further said the King’s presence promoted national unity.
“His Majesty’s presence further elevated the stature of the Ingwenyama Cup, recognising it not only as a major national football competition but also as an important platform for promoting national unity, cultural identity, community participation and social cohesion. The occasion provided an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of culture and football while highlighting the important relationship between sport, culture and national development,” the organisation said.
The organisation also thanked the Royal Household and Government for attending the event.
” The EFA also extends its sincere appreciation to the Royal Household, the Head of Government, Cabinet Ministers, Members of both Houses of Parliament, Chiefs, the sponsor, the broader football family and members of the media for gracing the occasion. Their presence demonstrated the collective commitment and recognition of both culture and football as an important contributor to the country’s social and sporting development,” the organisation said.
