Matungu Blackstars were on Friday crowned the National Biosafety Authority (NBA) soccer champions for Matungu Sub-County after beating Harambe United 3-0 in the final.
The match was attended by NBA Board Chairman David Wamatsi. Bestar FC took third place after beating Namasale FC 2-0 at Mayoni Primary School in Matungu Sub-County.
Wamatsi commended the talent displayed by the teams and said the government would support the development of their talent.
"We are all winners in this competition. I wish to appreciate all the teams that participated in this awareness creation tournament that seeks to address the issues of misinformation and disinformation on GMOs," said Wamatsi.
The tournament, which kicked off on September 6, has drawn 112 teams from five sub-counties: Mumias East, Mumias West, Butere, Matungu and Khwisero. It will run until December 4.
It is organised by the NBA in collaboration with the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Kakamega Branch under the theme "Kicking Out GMO Misinformation Through Sports". The supporting message is "Playing for Facts: Advancing Biosafety Awareness and Combating GMO Misinformation Through Football."
In Butere, Eshitari FC and Ibokolo FC will meet today in the Sub-County final.
