MASVINGO – Soccer loving fans have hailed the social soccer league Masvingo Organized Social Soccer League (MOSSL) for contributing towards fighting social ills in Masvingo urban.
The league, which has over 18 teams drawn from mostly high density areas, has managed to keep the youths occupied by playing soccer thereby abstaining from drug and substance abuse as well as other ills.
The league also has teams from institutions such as ZRP, Great Zimbabwe University (GZU) and Chibuku FC which is a big endorsement.
Taruvinga Mutangiranwa also known as Tango the league secretary general of MOSSL said one of the objectives of the league apart from socializing is to ensure that youths have something to occupy themselves so that they don’t end up abusing drugs or stealing from their neighborhood.
“Our social league shields Masvingo residents from community harms like murder, drug abuse, stealing, fighting to mention a few, as it brings the people together with one sole purpose to enjoy the game,” said Mutangiranwa.
Mutangiranwa said the league is also focused on creating cordial relationships within Masvingo residents as the social league is viewed as a one big extended family.
He also said we encourage the residents to come and have some time with their families on Saturdays to enjoy their weekends at different grounds like Mamutse Stadium, Mucheke Arena B, Don Bosco Primary ground, Masvingo Polytechnic ground, and Victoria High ground from 3.00pm when matches kickoff.
MOSSL was founded in 2016 and this season the league has 18 affiliated teams, for now it is second half season (second league) with 21games played so far. ZRP is on top of the log table with 49 points, same points with second placed Tango FC while Hunters anchor the table with only five points.
