Seyi Akinwunmi Foundation Charity Invitational U-13 football tournament is set to kick off today and tomorrow at the Campos Mini Stadium, Lagos Island.
The organiser of the event, Barr. Seyi Akinwunmi, who is the first vice president of the Nigeria Football Federation, and also chairman of Lagos State Football Association, stated that, Four pupils will get Scholarships which will be selected from each of the schools as best players.
The participating teams are LGEA Central School, Kaiama, Kwara State; Emmanuel Anglican Nursery and Primary School, Okesa, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State; Baptist Government Primary School, Oshogbo, Osun State; X-Planter Nursery and Primary School, Ikorodu, Lagos State; Amigo Largema Military Cantonment Primary School, Borno State, and Eko Football Future Stars, Lagos State.
“We are starting the tournament with six teams, but we hope it will become bigger. We will have scholarships for four pupils, and we will also have scholarship awards for the IDP school.
“We were involved in the screening of the Channels Kids Cup. We screened them in their schools before they came, and also did the same when they came for the Channels Kids Cup. So it is the same kids that are coming and we already know their age range,” he said.
“The championship is not just about Seyi Akinwunmi, and not also only about Lagos State. No doubt, Nigeria will be untouchable in years to come as far as football is concerned,” Akinwunmi noted.
The exhibition game at the #SeyiAkinwunmiU13Tournament will be between Abogo Largema Military Cantonment Primary School, Borno State and EkoFootball Future Stars.
Meanwhile, Seyi Akinwunmi Charity Foundation has opened up platforms for donations & sponsorships. Donations from well-wishers & partners will be invested back into the foundation for students sponsorship.
