‘Football is my life’ – N-Zinga Maxwell

It would be safe to say that football means the world to 47-year-old N-Zinga Maxwell; she dedicates her time and energy seven days a week to the game, often free of charge.

She is neither coach nor player, but Maxwell’s contribution is no less significant as she painstakingly ensures that the gear of the Fruta Conquerors Club is kept intact. She is the manager of the various teams of the club, a task that keeps her on her toes, and one that she has no intention of relinquishing in the near future.

“No, I love football, I am not going anywhere; this is what I love to do. Sometimes it is hard but I love what I do,” she told Sunday Stabroek in a recent interview.
