At a recent meeting by the local organising committee headed by Ganiu Ajibola confirmed that 64 football academies across Lagos State are invited to collect their registration forms before closing date.
“Presently, teams have started registering with us but we still need more enteries. The competition has a name and every football academy would like to play in the youth soccer tournament.
“We are not going to extend the closing date which ends on 28th of January 2024. That is why we are announcing to Schools, youth football academies and the public that are interested should collect their registration forms before the closing date,” he said.
Ajibola disclosed that the titled sponsor may increase the prize money following the huge success of the past editions and promised that this year’s edition would be better organised
