The club’s marketing director, Mothusi Jowawa said the event, which will take place under the theme 'Meet and Greet Mamoja players’, would be held at the old Francistown stadium from 8am. 

“The family fun day is meant to introduce new players to the supporters,” he said.

He said new attacking players, Iddi Ramadhani Athuman from Tanzania, former Satmos player Lovers Mofokeng who is a South African and Gomolemo Vusi Ndabuli, a former Amakhosi player would be introduced to the supporters.

He said, through these new players, they would be able to strengthen the team since they were relegated in the last season.

Jowawa said they would also raise funds for the team before the new season starts, adding that the money would be used to cover travel expenses as well as the welfare of the players.

“Supporters would have an opportunity to socialise with the players and enjoy music from local artists,” he said, adding that they will be jumping castles, fun games for kids and friendly social matches.

He added that local artists like IkaJazz maestro, Ndingo Johwa, Apollo D, Lizibo and BanaBana Ba Ntobgwa would perform at the event.

Jowawa urged supporters to come to the event in large numbers so as to interact with their players as well as assist the team grow financially. ECCO was relegated from the Premiership after a futile campaign last season.
