In an effort to give young people possibilities, Mabvuku MP Scott Sakupwanya founded a new football team in his district. This is a huge step forward. The team, called Scottland FC, intends to play football in Division One.
Sakupwanya announced the formation of Scottland FC on his X account, which was formerly Twitter. He expressed his joy and emphasised the club’s goal of providing a platform for young people to pursue their passion for football. He underlined the club’s mission to guide young people away from drug-related activities while also giving them alternatives for fulfilling jobs.
“By founding Scottland FC, we’re investing in our kids’ futures as much as building a football team. We are enabling them to become contributing members of society by using their ability and enthusiasm for football,” MP Scott Sakupwanya said.

Sakupwanya’s idea was praised for its ability to serve the neighbourhood, but the club’s name choice drew criticism on social media. The club’s name, “Scottland,” has drawn criticism from several users who felt that a name more representative of the neighbourhood or Zimbabwean culture would be more acceptable.
Sakupwanya’s dedication to using athletics to foster youth development is unwavering, notwithstanding the criticism expressed online. The founding of Scottland FC is a step towards developing talent, encouraging pride in the town, and creating a healthier atmosphere for Mabvuku’s citizens.
