KWALE COUNTY, Kenya — The third edition of the Feisal Super Cup concluded in spectacular fashion on New Year’s Eve as Dumna FC emerged victorious over Wayzata FC in a tension-filled encounter that kept spectators at Chiungoni Grounds enthralled until the final whistle.

Msambweni Member of Parliament Hon. Feisal Bader Abdallah hosted the championship match on December 31, 2025, drawing a constellation of high-profile political figures to witness what proved to be an unforgettable display of local football talent in Kinondo Ward.

The tournament finals attracted heavyweight government representation, with Cabinet Secretary for Mining, Blue Economy, and Maritime Affairs Hon. Ali Hassan Joho leading the distinguished guest list. Also in attendance were President William Ruto’s Personal Assistant Farouk Kibet and Mombasa Governor H.E. Abdulswamad Sheriff Nassir, underscoring the event’s growing prominence in coastal region sports.

The championship match delivered edge-of-seat drama befitting its high-profile audience. Both teams battled through a goalless first half marked by tactical discipline and missed opportunities, leaving fans anticipating an explosive conclusion.

Dumna FC broke the deadlock early in the second period, seizing the initiative with a crucial goal that shifted momentum decisively in their favor. The scoring breakthrough electrified supporters and set the stage for a frantic finish.

In the match’s climactic moment, Wayzata FC earned a penalty kick that offered them a lifeline back into contention. However, Dumna’s goalkeeper produced a match-winning save, denying the spot-kick and preserving his team’s slender advantage through the remaining minutes.

The victory sparked jubilant celebrations among Dumna FC players and fans as the year drew to a close, capping what Hon. Feisal described as “a true exhibition of raw talent that had everyone on the edge of their seats.”

Beyond sporting glory, the tournament delivered substantial financial rewards for participating teams. The initial prize structure allocated Ksh 600,000 for the champions and Ksh 400,000 for runners-up, but the generosity of attending dignitaries significantly enhanced these amounts.

Additional contributions from government officials and other leaders present elevated Dumna FC’s prize to Ksh 1,000,000, while Wayzata FC received Ksh 800,000 despite their narrow defeat. The enhanced prize money reflects growing political and community investment in youth sports development across Kwale County.

MP Feisal used the year-end occasion to reinforce his administration’s commitment to nurturing grassroots athletic talent through sustained programming and infrastructure support.

“I reaffirm my commitment to collaborate with like-minded leaders to support our local talents,” the legislator declared. “My administration will organize many mini-leagues across different sub-locations to nurture our grassroots teams, because I firmly believe ‘Talanta Ni Ajira’ (Talent is Employment).”

This philosophy connects sports development directly to economic opportunity, positioning athletic excellence as a viable pathway to financial security for young people in the constituency.

In a significant announcement that excited local football enthusiasts, Hon. Feisal revealed that next year’s championship will shift locations. “The 4th Edition Feisal Super Cup Finals will be held in Ramisi Ward,” he confirmed, spreading the tournament’s economic and social benefits across different areas of his constituency.

The MP extended appreciation to the Football Kenya Federation’s Kwale County branch for seamless tournament organization, praising their professionalism in coordinating the multi-day competition. He also thanked passionate fans whose massive turnout created an electric atmosphere befitting a major sporting occasion.

The event drew political representation extending beyond Kwale County boundaries, demonstrating the tournament’s expanding regional profile. Among notable attendees were Migori Senator Eddy Oketch, Kwale County Women Representative Hon. Fatuma Masito, and Kwale Nominated Senator Raphael Chimera.

Additional parliamentary representation came from Changamwe MP Hon. Omar Mwinyi, while local governance was represented by several Members of County Assembly including Kinondo’s Hon. Juma Maone, Ramisi’s Hon. Hanifa Mwajirani, Kinango’s Hon. Richard Itambo, and Likoni’s Hon. Athumani Mwamwiri.

Nominated MCAs Hon. Khadija Ngala, Hon. Fartun Mohammed, and Hon. Melder Nyakiti also attended, alongside Kenya Ports Authority Chairman Benjamin Tayari and private sector representatives including Yonas from Sabaki Motors.

This cross-sector participation illustrates how community sporting events have become platforms for political visibility and public-private collaboration in Kenya’s coastal region.

The Feisal Super Cup has evolved into an anticipated annual fixture since its inception, providing competitive opportunities for amateur teams while channeling resources into youth development initiatives. The tournament’s growth trajectory mirrors increasing recognition among political leaders that sports infrastructure and programming represent strategic investments in youth empowerment.

For Dumna FC, the victory delivers not just trophy glory but substantial financial resources that can support team development, equipment acquisition, and player welfare. The runners-up prize ensures Wayzata FC also benefits meaningfully despite their narrow defeat.

As 2025 concluded with this thrilling sporting spectacle and attention turns toward next year’s Ramisi Ward finals, the tournament has firmly established itself as a cornerstone event in Kwale County’s sporting calendar—one that combines athletic competition, community celebration, and youth economic empowerment under the banner of “Talanta Ni Ajira.”
