Mathare North Festive Season Football Tournament (MFSFT) is an annual event organized by Wilsen Initiative (Wi) together with the community stakeholders in football in Mathare North and its environs. During the festive season not everyone gets a chance to travel outside the city leaving many of the young people with no option but to indulge in non productive activities like abusing alcohol, hanging around doing nothing etc, thus the saying, an idle mind is a devil's workshop!
In this regards we have been organizing this tournament to engage the youth and the community through football whereby encouraging positive solutions in creating lasting impacts towards peaceful coexisting of people of different tribes, social class, and among other backgrounds thus the big banner the POWER OF THE BALL!
