Kenya's football darling Dennis Oliech is back in the game. His self-titled tournament, Dennis Oliech Cup is set to kick off on Sunday July 4, 2021.
The tournament, which draws 64 grassroots teams from the informal settlements from Dagoretti, Kawangware and neighboring slums, was launched on Monday with Mozzart pumping in Ksh 6.4 Million into this year’s edition.
Oliech thanked Mozzart for supporting the tournament saying it would be bigger and more impactful courtesy of the sponsorship.
“Through this tournament, many youths are going to get other bigger opportunities as scouts will be on the ground to tap talent. In future we also plan to introduce a ladies’ tournament. I want to thank Mozzart Bet for partnering with us – it is the beginning of great things,” he said.
“I also have a plan to host my testimonial match in Kisumu next year and invite retired players from East Africa and some of my former teammates in Europe.” He added.
Sister Mary Owens, a director at Children of God Relief Institute (COGRI) also thanked Mozzart and confirmed they would be mentoring the youth during the tournament.
