The National Microfinance Bank (NMB) yesterday handed over a cheque of 17.5m/- to Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) as part of the bank's under-17 national team sponsorship.
The NMB Senior Marketing Manager, Imani Kajula, said yesterday that the package would assist players and their families.
Kajula said that NMB would put 580,000/- in every player's Junior Account.
``We hope that this sponsorship will stir them to become best footballers and would also motivate them to perform well in their studies,`` added Kajula.
On his side, The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) Secretary-General, Frederick Mwakalebela, hailed the bank for boosting the youth soccer, saying it would help the country to generate talented players in future.
However, Mwakalebela called for other donors to follow the footsteps of NMB in the effort to promote youth soccer.
The bank last week signed a ball project contract with TFF to sponsor youths in the country and the bank will tomorrow start distributing sports gear in Dar es Salaam schools.
