Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!It was an exciting grassroots football cracker yesterday evening in the final of the male version of the 2026 Prosperity Football Cup at the Samson Siasia Sports Complex, Ovom, Yenagoa with Okoroma United FC of Nembe LGA emerging as the new champion.
Alongside my Deputy, His Excellency, Dr. Peter Akpe, other distinguished guests and football lovers, we were entertained to a good football artistry by the two teams- Okoroma United of Okoroma from Nembe Local Government Area and Akinima/Biogbo of Ogboloma, Yenagoa Local Government Area.
I am also glad with the report that the final of the female version was interesting with the Active Ladies of Agudama, defeating the Afini Ladies of Amarata.
Again, let me appreciate the organisers for the sustenance of the competition and all our corporate sponsors for their contribution to the socio-economic development of the state parties, the youth.
Thank you to our lead sponsor, Dr. Emmanuel Efe Emefienim, the Managing Director/CEO, Premium Trust Bank for your continued partnership.
Let me equally acknowledge the partnership between the organisers and FC Barcelona of Spain, in the development of talents from this competition.
While I congratulate the 227 participating male teams and the 21 female teams in the tournament, our Government of Assured Prosperity will continue to use sporting activities to drive youth development.
