KC,
Great to know you made it back safely to Dallas.
Thank you very much for making the flight to Madison to not only show your
brotherly support but to witness the fete in true team spirit. I need not
say that the team felt elevated upon seeing you, Jonathan and our other
resident African brothers, sisters, family and friends of Africa lead the
cheer, otherwise we would have been overwhelmed; the Mexicans also came out
strong. It shows true camaraderie and unity! The team really appreciates
it.
We will be looking forward to hearing the growth of your new team in Dallas.
We know it's one step at a time but with perseverance, you shall succeed.
Please keep us posted.
Best regards from us to you, Angie and Adanze.
Ray Ade Kumapayi
Team Manager
Africa United Soccer Club

CONGRATULATIONS, AFRICA UNITED!! and CONGRATULATIONS, AAM!!! Thank
God for journey mercies, I made it back to Dallas safely. I was so
happy to be there to cheer my brothers to victory during which I lost
my voice after 40 minutes of watching the game. The guys played with
so much finesse, it was like watching a live world cup match. They
were just TERRIFIC. Cherif, our captain, did a marvelous job
controlling the tempo of the game and Bro Ray was wonderful on the
sideline coaching, calling the plays and firing up the guys.
I could feel the love and support from all of you physically and
spiritually as I reflected on the good old days. Though not
physically there, I could see brother Richard and his two sons
cheering. Though not physically there, I could see brother Godwin
cheering out loud and doing some coaching along the sideline. It was
a dream come true as I watched with pride, and it seemed like
yesterday when I was asking some of my brothers in the Madison soccer
league: "Why are we playing against each other, why can't we have our
own team?" With all the odds and persistence, here we are today.
How sweet it is, indeed!!!!
Brothers and sisters please continue to show your support to our
soccer team. As an advocate of Pan-Africanism, the "secret" behind
the name - AFRICA UNITED is from the Organization of African Unity
(OAU) and in this case, "United" is a symbol of "family." The team
is YOURS, they have made us proud and our continual support will keep
them in high spirits as they face new challenges ahead. Please allow
me to extend my hearty CONGRATULATIONS to everyone that helped do the
ground work in getting us where we are today. We've come a long
way. Up Africa United!!!!! We have the best team in Madison, and we
have the real "coach of the year." CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!
KC
