Former Harambee stars coach Mohammed Kheri was among the guests at the launch of the tournament.

In his speech, Kheri called for the creation of a youth football academy to help raise the standards of the sport.

Kheri regretted that the current state of football in the country is in a sorry state noting that more needs to be done to improve the sport.

"If we disband the football federation and we don't get organised, we’ll not be doing anything, ” said Kheri.

The main aim of the tournament is to promote local talents and ensure the youth stay out of vices like drugs and crime.

"I have organised this competition to get young people, women and the elderly to join in the goal of nurturing football talent in our area," charged Abdalla.
