Mombasa Super Cup targets new talent with Sh1 million prize

Mombasa Super Cup returns in November with a Sh1 million prize for the county winner, as organisers seek to identify young talent and strengthen grassroots football across the region.

Football teams across Mombasa County will compete for a Sh1 million prize when the second edition of the Shahbal Super Cup kicks off in November, with organisers seeking to identify emerging talent and strengthen grassroots football.

The tournament will use a ward-based format, allowing local teams to showcase their players and compete for prizes.

The initiative also aims to create a pathway for emerging players to reach professional football and help establish another Mombasa-based club in the top flight.

Speaking during the launch at Serani Sports Ground in Mombasa on Saturday, October 24, Suleiman Shahbal said the competition could help produce another team capable of playing in the Kenya Premier League (KPL).
