Local IT company Smart Technology Ltd donated sports gear to the Green Valley futsal team over the weekend at the Multipurpose Hall outdoor court.
The donation, presented on Saturday, is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting community sports development.
Company representative Mr Rolex Sitana said the initiative reflects their dedication to promote youth engagement and healthy lifestyles through sport.
He said the company is committed to supporting the team in the future, reinforcing its dedication to youth development.
“We believe in empowering our youth through sport, giving them purpose, discipline, and a positive path in life,” he said.
He said supporting initiatives like this helps guide young people away from negative influences and builds stronger, safer communities.
Speaking to Island Sun yesterday, Green Valley futsal team captain Max Makana expressed gratitude for the support, saying the new sports gear will boost their morale and performance in upcoming Bulk Shop Futsal Hope League competitions.
“The Green Valley team, established in 2024, is led and supported by coach Moses Eliezer, who is currently in Australia but continues to support the team’s progress,” Makana said.
He said Green Valley has participated four times in the Bulk Shop Futsal pre-league sessions and hopes to enter the Hope League next month, followed by the Super League.
“With the support of this sports gear, my team will do its best to qualify for the upcoming Bulk Shop Super League, and we hope to perform well in the tournament,” he said.
He also thanks Carl Molea for financial support and for helping negotiate with sponsors to assist the club.
“I call on boys in the Green Valley community who are staying at home to come forward and join the team,” he said, emphasising that sport is good for health and helps young people avoid negative influences and activities in the community.
