⚽ Re: Expulsion from Orange Farm LFA (OFLFA)
To our valued supporters, parents, players, and our loyal sponsor Shange Petroleum:
We wish to inform you that we have officially received a letter from the Orange Farm Local Football Association (OFLFA) notifying us of an immediate expulsion from the association.
While we are disappointed by this decision, we remain committed to transparency, professionalism, and the growth of youth football in our community and beyond.
We wish to place it on record that:
1. Our actions have always been rooted in love for the game, player development, and community empowerment.
2. The Mau-Mau Youth Soccer League (MYSL) is an independent initiative built to uplift grassroots football, not to undermine any structure.
3. We have made multiple efforts to engage respectfully with OFLFA on fixture matters, but these concerns have often been ignored or dismissed.
4. Despite the challenges, we have remained compliant with SAFA protocols in our tournament engagements (e.g., Engen Knockout Challenge, Donald Nemasisi Cup, etc.) and have always prioritized player registration and development.
This expulsion will not hinder our mission — it only fuels our passion.
We will continue to operate with integrity, accountability, and excellence as we expand into broader opportunities, including regional and national platforms.
We thank you for standing with us. 💛
Our commitment to the youth remains unshaken.
✊🏾 Yours in Football
