South Sudan’s 3x3 Basketball Team heads to Algeria for African School Games

South Sudan’s 3x3 basketball team is on its way to Algeria for the first-ever African School Games, set to begin on July 26. The tournament will bring together school athletes from 44 African countries.

The team, made up of Gach Majak (known as Rin Oxygen), Bol Bol (Black Panther), Ngor Mathen (Kobe), and William Kuony (Al Mark), is coached by Madut Ayuel. They travelled to Egypt earlier this week and are expected to arrive in Algeria ahead of the tournament’s opening.

The African School Games, organised by the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA), is part of a wider effort to grow youth sports across the continent.

The players are from Dr. Biar Sports Academy and will represent South Sudan in the basketball 3x3 competition. The event runs until August 5.

This is the first time South Sudan is taking part in the ANOCA Games, marking a new step for the country’s presence in youth sports on the African stage.

: President Augustino Maduot: A proven leader and catalyst for football development

By Albino Kuek Deng

President Augustino Maduot stands out as the most qualified and visionary candidate to continue leading the South Sudan Football Federation (SSFF). His leadership has ushered in a new era of transformation and growth, achieving milestones that no predecessor has come close to reaching. He has proven himself to be a remedy for the challenges that once held our football back.

One of his most remarkable achievements is the completion of our national stadium as it was abandoned project revived and finished under his watch. Today, that stadium is certified by both FIFA and CAF, proudly hosting international matches for the first time in our history. This achievement alone has elevated South Sudan’s presence on the global football map.

Under President Maduot’s stewardship, South Sudan qualified for its first-ever U-20 and U-17 Africa Cup of Nations tournaments in 2022/2023. These historic milestones are the result of strong foundations he has laid in youth development and national team management.

He also introduced national competitions that have revitalized club football. Teams like Al Merreikh Juba, Hilal FC-Wau, Zalan-Rumbek, El Merreikh Bentiu, and Jamus have gone on to make history by competing in CAF tournaments. These achievements reflect the rising standards of our domestic leagues and the growing competitiveness of South Sudanese clubs on the continental stage.

One of his most groundbreaking initiatives has been the creation of the South Sudan Premier League (SSPL). Though only a year old, the SSPL has been hailed by football analysts as one of the most competitive leagues not just in South Sudan, but across East Africa. President Maduot’s commitment to further developing the league promises even greater progress ahead.

Capacity-building has also been a key focus of his leadership. He has overseen the training of hundreds of referees and coaches, leading to an unprecedented recognition of South Sudanese officials by FIFA. Today, we boast over six female FIFA-certified referees and at least two international VAR officials—an achievement that speaks volumes about the trust he is building with global football bodies. Through the introduction of the CAF C-Diploma syllabus, more than 150 coaches have now earned their CAF C licenses, creating a new generation of technically equipped football minds.

President Maduot has also recognized the power of media in sports development. Under his leadership, preparations are underway to launch dedicated football radio and television stations—platforms that will promote local talent, engage fans, and expand football’s reach nationwide.

Beyond his role in the SSFF, President Maduot brings pride to our nation as the current President of CECAFA. His leadership qualities, professionalism, and vision have earned him regional respect and positioned South Sudan as a rising football force in East Africa.

Football is a game of passion, but its institutions demand discipline, hard work, and strategic thinking. President Maduot exemplifies all these values. He has not only built a solid foundation for football in South Sudan—he has ignited a movement of national pride and continental recognition.

As we look to the future, let us rally behind a proven leader. Let us support President Augustino Maduot for a second term, and continue building on the incredible progress already made.

Football for National Pride.

Breaking barriers, building dreams: Anna Nyakuet Taker’s historic bid for SSFF Second Vice President

In a country where football is more than just a game—it’s a source of pride, unity, and hope—change is on the horizon. For the first time in the history of the South Sudan Football Federation (SSFF), a woman is contesting for the position of Second Vice President. And she’s not just making history—she’s charting a new course for the future of football in South Sudan.

Meet Anna Nyakuet Taker—a respected sports advocate, seasoned administrator, and fierce believer in inclusion. With deep experience in grassroots football, women empowerment, and community engagement, Anna is bringing a fresh and transformative vision to the leadership of the federation.

Her journey is one defined by merit and passion. In 2022, Anna was selected to attend the prestigious UEFA/FIFA Women in Football Leadership Programme in Geneva, Switzerland, under the theme “Developing Leaders, Transforming Organizations, Contributing to Society.” The experience sharpened her skills and reinforced her commitment to building systems that empower both women and men through sport.

Back home, Anna has already left a strong mark within the SSFF. She has served for four years on the Federation’s Board of Directors as head of the Finance Committee, playing a key role in accountability and strategic planning. Following her leadership training, FIFA appointed her as Coordinator of the FIFA Pilot Project on Menstrual Health Management in South Sudan—making her a pioneer in integrating health and dignity into the lives of young female athletes.

Now, Anna is stepping forward to lead at an even higher level. As the only female candidate in the race for Second Vice President, her candidacy sends a bold message: women have a rightful place in shaping the direction of South Sudanese football.

This is more than a campaign—it’s a movement for equity, representation, and lasting change in sports leadership. It’s time for a federation that reflects the talents and aspirations of all South Sudanese.

History is calling. Let’s answer by supporting Anna Nyakuet Taker—because football should work for everyone.
