ZIFA Northern Region Soccer League chairman, Martin Kweza, has hailed LM Auctions for coming on board to partner them in a two-year deal.

LM Auctions are set to sponsor the Player of the Month and the Player of the Year awards.

The outstanding monthly player is set to take US$200 while the Player of the Year will take home US$1000.

The first runner-up and second runners-up are set to receive US$600 and US$400.

The organisation has sponsored the Chapungu women’s side before.

Kweza assured LM Auctions that the region will bring the best out of this deal.

“We are doing what we are good at, which is managing our football. Over the years we have been seeking to improve our league through professional conduct and step by step we are slowly getting there.

“This will go a long way to motivate our players to aim high and compete for these individual prizes while they will be also contributing positively to their clubs.

“We want to give LM Auctions the best deal. We want to thank LM Auctions for this kind gesture.

LM Auctions director, Luis Mazhara, said he was impressed by the professionalism exhibited by the region.

“The reason why I am doing this as a company, and as an individual, is because of my passion for football.

“So, we just thought we need to assist these youngsters so that we can take them off the streets and inspire them to push themselves and produce their best.

“We said let’s just come in and assist the Northern Region because I have seen some positive changes in the way they conduct their business over the years.

“I admired how they were operating over the last five years so I decided that let’s just be part of it,” he said.
