The sudden departure of Mosoti raises concerns for the future of the club, especially as Gucha Stars remain in a strong position at the top of the FKF Division One Zone B standings.
Gucha Stars Football Club is facing a major setback after its patron, Henry Mosoti, announced his withdrawal of sponsorship and departure from the club. The decision follows ongoing internal wrangles surrounding ownership disputes and political tensions within the club's management.
Mosoti, a key figure in the club's rise to the top of the FKF Division One Zone B standings, made the announcement in a heartfelt statement, clarifying that his involvement with Gucha Stars had never been about seeking recognition or control. Instead, he expressed his passion for the sport, his love for the local community and his commitment to supporting the club's talented players.
"My support for Gucha Football Club has never been about recognition or control," Mosoti said. "It has been about passion for the game, love for this community and a desire to see our talented players thrive. That mission remains close to my heart, even as I take a step back from active involvement."
He continued to offer words of encouragement to the players and the community. "To the players: you are the heart and soul of this team. Never forget the hard work, resilience and dedication that have brought you this far. Your journey doesn't end here – it’s just beginning."
Addressing the local fans and supporters, Mosoti added, "This team now returns to your hands. It is up to you to nurture it, protect it and guide it to even greater heights. I hope you will continue to support the players and honor the legacy we’ve built together."
Although Mosoti is stepping away from his role as patron, he expressed his gratitude to everyone who supported the club over the years. "Though I may no longer be your patron, I will always be your fan," he concluded.
The sudden departure of Mosoti raises concerns for the future of the club, especially as Gucha Stars remain in a strong position at the top of the FKF Division One Zone B standings. It remains to be seen how the club will navigate these challenges without the backing of its prominent sponsor.
