Security apparatus donates millions to Sudanese football clubs

El Mireikh Sports Club has received a cheque of SDG1 million ($166,000) from the National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) in support of the club’s participation in the African competition. El Hilal Sports Club will receive the same amount.

General Manager of NISS’ Guidance  department, Brig. Dukhri El Zaman Omar Musad, handed the check to the president of El Mireikh, Jamal El Wali, during a reception this weekend.

Musad said that the step comes in the context of the NISS’ societal role concerning cultural, scientific, social, and sports activities, in particular in the women, youth, and students’ sectors, according to the pro-government Sudan Vision Daily today.

He said that he would visit El Hilal Sports Club the next day, to hand them a check with the same sum, hailing the promising results achieved by the two clubs so far.
