A new year has arrived, and with it comes fresh belief, bigger dreams, and an unshakable commitment to building something that lasts. To every supporter, volunteer, partner, and believer who stood with us in the past year, this new chapter is yours too. Thank you...
Forget about how we got hammered last year because we didn’t just enter 2026; we announced ourselves. On Saturday, Saliwa FC kicked off the year with a bold 3–1 victory against a disciplined and well-organized side, Mapale Fc. We were the underdogs; we trained with purpose in mind, and we arrived with belief, and that belief carried us through. When the final whistle blew, everyone was excited: dancing, smiles, and pure joy. This was not only because we won a match but also because the boys saw what is possible when opportunity meets effort. But this victory is only the opening sentence of a much bigger story.
Our 2026 ambition is clear: build a proper sports ground facility, a home for football, netball, basketball, and volleyball; purchase quality sports equipment so talent is not limited by lack of tools; and train coaches to nurture discipline, skill, and leadership. It also includes strengthening and developing our teams, launching women’s football and netball teams, and establishing under-14 boys’ and girls’ teams because talent must be nurtured early. Our belief remains the same: sport is not just a game; it is protection, opportunity, confidence, and community. It keeps young people focused, it builds leaders, and it gives girls and boys a voice, a team, a place they belong, and a dream.
In 2026, we are not just playing matches; we are building pathways, we are creating safe spaces, and we are raising the next generation of athletes and role models. If you’ve ever believed in the power of sport to change lives, this is your moment to stand with us.
One win. One dream. One community rising together.
