18-year old Yadah FC midfielder off to Benfica for trials
Reigning Portuguese Primeira Liga champions Benfica have invited Warriors and Yadah Fc midfielder Leeroy Mavunga for trials. Benfica has now won the Portuguese championship for four consecutive seasons.
Yadah FC chief executive officer Admire Mango confirmed the trials.
Yes, our player has been invited by Benfica and should be going next week and he will be there for a couple of weeks. He was initially scheduled to leave on Tuesday this week, but we postponed the trip so that he can have a chance to play for the national team at the Cosafa. We are very excited as a club to have our player invited by such a big club. It shows that as an institution we are doing something right, and we will continue to give these boys such opportunities. He has asked to play at Cosafa first and then travel to Benfica so Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries leader Walter Magaya (Yadah owner) has agreed to the arrangement. We are grateful to the Prophet, who continues to support the community by giving people opportunities such as these.
