State Ministry of Youth & Sports Form Interim Body To Manage Holy Family FC

The Lakes State Ministry of Youth and Sports take steps to form an interim management body for Holy Family FC, one of the clubs participating in the South Sudan Premier League. While more details are yet to come out, this move appears to be in response to the growing challenges faced by local football clubs, including limited financial support, logistical constraints, and governance gaps.\r\n\r\nHoly Family FC has been vocal about its struggles—ranging from lack of basic equipment like boots and jerseys to players walking long distances for training due to inadequate transport and accommodation. The formation of an interim body suggests the Ministry is stepping in to stabilize operations, ensure compliance with league standards, and possibly prepare the club for long-term structural reforms.\r\n\r\nThis development aligns with the Ministry’s broader commitment to strengthening sports governance, as seen in its recent involvement with the South Sudan Football Federation’s elective congress and its calls for transparency and professionalism in football management.\r\n\r\nHoly Family FC play their first match of the new season against Bentiu City SC on Monday Sep 15 2025 at the Juba National Stadium from 1 pm South Sudan time.
