The contract (previously) extended from the beginning of the season ends in June 2025.”

Former midfielder Tinashe Nengomasha believes that based on the team’s current form, they are poised for a better 2025.

Speaking exclusively to Soccer Laduma, the Zimbabwean-born midfielder stated that new coach Nasreddine Nabi seems to have made a positive impact on the team, with signs of improvement already visible.
“If you look at the way they have started the new season, it shows that things are changing for the better. The new technical team is showing signs of improvement and I hope that will go into the new year and the team can still do well. The players are also showing commitment and dedication which is good for the team. That’s why I am saying that 2025 promises to be a better year for Chiefs,” Nengomasha told Soccer Laduma.

The former midfielder is of the opinion that the league title race is far from over.
“It’s not even half way the season if you look at the games played and no-one can claim that they have already won the league. It’s still far from being won and any team can still fight for the league title.
“I believe Chiefs will do better in 2025 and if they can’t win the league they would at least finish in a CAF Champions League position for next season. They have a squad which is good enough to do that,” the Zimbabwean-born legend added.

Charred bodies found near Ecuador military base are 4 boys who went missing while playing soccer, officials say
Genetic tests on charred bodies found near an Ecuador military base confirm they are those of four boys taken by soldiers three weeks ago, officials said Tuesday.
The disappearance of the boys, aged between 11 and 15, sparked protests in the South American nation, which is in the throes of an armed struggle between narco gangs and security forces.
Saul Arboleda, Steven Medina, and brothers Josue and Ismael Arroyo were playing soccer in the western city of Guayaquil on Dec. 8 when they went missing.
“The results of genetic forensic tests confirm that the four bodies found in Taura correspond to the three teenagers and a boy who disappeared after a December 8 military operation,” Ecuador’s prosecution service wrote on social media.
An unverified video released by Ecuador’s Congress appears to show a group of soldiers putting one of the minors in a vehicle and beating him, while another was seen face down.
Defense Minister Gian Carlo Loffredo said that the soldiers, who had been on patrol, were responding to a request for help due to a robbery.
The military says the children were released on the same night they were detained and that gangs are to blame for their disappearance, the Associated Press reported.

The incident led to widespread indignation in Ecuador, where kidnapping, extortion and murders are now commonplace.
The father of one of the boys said his family received a call the night of their disappearance during which Ismael was put on the phone. The boy said soldiers had chased them down, taken them and beaten them.
Later, the relatives received two locations via WhatsApp, one of them in the town of Taura, home to a military air base, and the other near a shrimp farm.
An anonymous caller told the family that criminals had taken the boys.
On December 24, the charred remains of four corpses were found near the Taura base, raising fears they were of the missing boys, though officials said at the time DNA tests were needed.
The prosecutors’ statement on Tuesday confirmed that the bodies were of the adolescents.
Authorities early last week raided the Taura base and confiscated the phones of 16 soldiers suspected to be involved in the disappearance, as well as the vehicles used to transport the minors.
On Tuesday, the soldiers — who had been put in military detention — were ordered into custody by a criminal court.
They are being investigated for the forced disappearance of the boys, which carries a sentence of up to 26 years’ imprisonment if they are convicted.
The soldiers claim they had released the boys in the area after a brief detention and that all four had been alive and in good condition at that time.
The Defense Ministry in a statement on behalf of the government, said “we deeply regret” that it has been confirmed that the bodies are those of the missing adolescents.
“We reaffirm our commitment to the truth, so that this case is handled with total transparency until we find those responsible for this murder,” it added.
Dozens of relatives, neighbors and activists waving placards staged a protest outside a court demanding the soldiers be jailed.

Last January, President Daniel Noboa declared a state of “internal armed conflict” after a brutal wave of violence, sparked by the jailbreak of a powerful crime boss.
The move came after gunmen stormed and opened fire in a TV studio and bandits threatened random executions of civilians and security forces. A prosecutor investigating the assault was later shot dead.

“We know it won’t be easy but we are ready for the test to do the best and win as many games as we can which in turn will help us win as many trophies as we can. We have to make 2025 better than the past two seasons,” Maela concluded.
