Message of appreciation and gratitude to Ciec Manyiel Community and Entire Lakes State Community.
Yesterday was a day of joy, pride, and triumph for the entire Ciec Manyiel Community. This victory is not merely about football, it is about the strength of unity, the beauty of perseverance, and the spirit of people who refused to let any challenge define their destiny.
When this tournament began, we never doubted that we would do better this year because our community would rally together behind us with the energy and passion required for such a championship. Ciec Manyiel as a community have proven in many beyond reasonable doubts that when we stand together as one, nothing can hold us back. The atmosphere you created on the sidelines, the songs you sang, and the colors you wore transformed every game into festival of unity. You showed the wider Lakes State and all of South Sudan that Yirol East we come from is a home of champions, a home of peace and a home of unbreakable bonds.
To our fans, you are the heartbeat of this victory. Your conduct throughout the Lakes State Peace Tournament and Bhar el Ghazal Counties Peace Tournament (BCPT) was exemplary. No incident tarnished our name, conflict overshadowed our joy. You have carried the name of Ciec Manyiel with dignity and projected our image across South Sudan as a community that values peace, sportsmanship, and harmony. Passion lit up the stands and gave our players the courage to give their very best.
To our incredible players, you are the heroes of today. Your hard work on the field, your discipline in training and your unshakable belief in yourselves have written a new chapter in the history of our community. Football is more than a game, it is a story of dreams, teamwork, and sacrifice. You have reminded us that success is earned not just with talent but with heart, commitment, and unity.
To our coaches and technical team, your leadership has been compass guiding this team. Behind every spectacular goal
