Joseph Apai, the deputy Secretary-General for the South Sudan Football Association (SSFA), said the Italian-based Macron Sports Company agreed to provide football equipment to South Sudan’s national team.

“Macron Sports Company will supply the South Sudan Football Association with all the national team materials for the players, technical team and officials,” Mr Apai revealed.
