Karonga set to host NRFA top four bonanza
The bonanza returns to Karonga stadium years after the inaugural event at the same venue in 2018.
KARONGA, Malawi- The Northern Region Football Association says preparations for this year's Top 4 bonanza in Karonga are going well, writes Victor Musongole.
The bonanza returns to Karonga stadium years after the inaugural event at the same venue in 2018.
It is held as a send-off for Simso Innobuild champions every end of season.
NRFA General Secretary Masiya Nyasulu says the bonanza will be part of the Simso Innobuild League prize presentation where top performers in the just ended season will be awarded.
"We will have both Simso Innobuild League Prize Presentation and Top four bonanza in Karonga this month that end or early Next months," Nyasulu said.
Baka City team Manager Alick Zungu while admitting a tough task says the bonanza is an opportunity for the technical panel to assess players.
"Top 4 bonanza will give our technical panel to assess players and have a clear picture of where we are with the super league requirements. Currently we have about 40 players so definitely we will also use this bonanza to even find players from our opponents. We want to give youngstars opportunity to showcase their talent in the super league," Zungu said.
Football Association of Malawi President Fleetwood Haiya promised K5 million for this year's Top 4 bonanza among other sponsors.
Chitipa United became the first team to win both the league and the top 4 bonanza last year in Mzimba.
Previously no league winner has ever won the bonanza proving to be one of the toughest.
