Sundowns goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene has described the sad state of football in the Free State province as"dead".
The once thriving football culture in the province is now without a professional top-flight football team after the status of both Bloemfontein Celtic and Free State Stars was sold last season.Stars have since been relocated to Mpumalanga while being renamed Casric Stars, while Celtic are now known as Royal AM.
"I was heartbroken because it's a team that was close to my heart, it's a team that brought me to South Africa," the former Free State Stars goalkeeper said."Funny enough, I have only played for two teams in South Africa, these are the only teams that I support Free State Stars and Mamelodi Sundowns.""Bloemfontein Celtic is not there, and Free State Stars is not there, and maybe only a third tier team.
"I can say Free State is dead because Free State Stars were bringing a vibe with many people and small businesses selling food at the stadium. "When the team is no more, you can tell what it means to people who come to the stadium and sell food.Meanwhile, Free State are set to have a Motsepe Foundation Championship team this year after TTM relocated to the province this week.
