Story: Guleid Jama, Tusaale United
New football club, Tusaale United have just completed a fantastic season in Sheffield’s amateur leagues, securing several cup victories.
Tusaale United Under 15s won the Sheffield & District Junior cup on the 13th May 2012. The over 18s won the Somaliland Cup in London on the 19th May 2012 where there were 16 teams from across the UK who entered. We also entered a Somali futsal tournament in Birmingham on 20th May 2012 where there were 32 teams and our under 18s team won the cup without conceding a goal.
Started by a group of young Somali men, we run the club as volunteers. It brings together players, from across the city, areas like Darnall, Broomhall, Upperthorpe, Sharrow as well as Burngreave. The team gives them the chance to play together and this is good for our community.
Tusaale United are already planning for next season where we plan to make 5 teams: U10s, U13s, U15s, U16s, and U21s. Trials were held in June for all teams.
The teams rely entirely on donations and volunteer time. We are looking for sponsors for all of your 5 teams if you’re interested in sponsoring us please contact Mustafa Jama 07412 606 471.
