- Kumba is poised to construct a cutting-edge stadium after the Société Anonyme des Boissons du Cameroun (SABC) committed 500 million FCFA to the project
- The stadium will address the city’s long-standing infrastructure challenges, providing a much-needed boost to its six regional league teams
The city of Kumba is set to score a major win with the construction of a state-of-the-art stadium, a game-changer for the city’s football aspirations. The Société Anonyme des Boissons du Cameroun (SABC) has pledged 500 million FCFA to fund the project, which aims to elevate the local football scene to new heights.
The project was presented during a high-profile meeting on March 18, 2025, involving Kumba City Mayor Gregory Mewanu, SABC executives, and representatives from the Presidential Plan for Reconstruction and Development (PPRD). The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is imminent, marking the official kickoff for this ambitious venture.
This development is a dream come true for K-Town, a breeding ground for national football talents. Currently, six teams—Kumba City FC, Legend FA, Bright Stars, Future Dream FA, Kumba Lakers FC, and Waspito FF—are competing in the regional league.
Despite their consistent top-four finishes in the South West Regional National Interpools, inadequate facilities have been a stumbling block, with matches played on a subpar pitch at the Government Primary and Secondary School field (GPS).
The new stadium promises to level the playing field, offering a world-class venue that could propel these teams into Cameroon’s elite leagues. With proper infrastructure, Kumba’s football legacy could soon rival that of legendary clubs like PWD of Kumba, cementing its place on the national football map.
