Eddie “Mboma” Nyatanga, the founding president of the Zimbabwe National Soccer Supporters Association, has left an indelible mark on the country’s football landscape. His passing at the age of 62 has sent shockwaves through the football community, with tributes pouring in from far and wide.
A devoted Warriors fan, Mboma was instrumental in mobilizing support for the national team, often leading the charge in organizing trips to away matches. His enthusiasm and energy were contagious, inspiring countless others to join him in cheering on the team.
One of his most notable achievements was spearheading the supporters’ trip to Tunisia for the Warriors’ historic debut at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2004. This milestone event cemented Mboma’s status as a pioneer in Zimbabwean football fandom.
Beyond his contributions to football, Mboma was a family man, leaving behind two wives and 13 children. His legacy extends far beyond the stadium, a testament to the power of passion and patriotism.
Rest in peace, Mboma. Your spirit will live on in the hearts of football fans across Zimbabwe.
