Lagos Agog as Real Battle for N20m Begins Monday in 1XBET Community Cup 2024
Football fans, enthusiasts, and stakeholders are eagerly anticipating the kickoff of the 1XBET Community Cup 2024, set to begin on Monday in Lagos.
The highly anticipated tournament features a staggering N20 million prize for the winning team.
The event, sponsored by 1XBET and organized by Match International Limited, promises to deliver an unparalleled grassroots football championship in Nigeria.
Twenty teams, meticulously selected through rigorous trials, will compete in this prestigious event.
The teams are divided into four groups of five, with the winners of each group automatically advancing to the quarter-finals.
The second and third-placed teams will face off in a playoff for the remaining quarter-final spots.
To enhance the competition, 1XBET and the organizers have established several committees to oversee various aspects, including individual awards for outstanding players and coaches in every match.
As the tournament approaches, many teams have engaged in pre-championship matches to hone their skills.
Coaches have expressed confidence and determination, with SB LFC’s head coach Barrister Ayo Julius stating, "We're ready and determined to defend our title with our unique brand of football, called 'Ramba-Samba'." Last year’s finalists, Ighalo FC, have also pledged to secure the title and the N20 million prize.
Project coordinator Engr. Waidi Akanni assured that all arrangements are in place for a well-organized, exciting, and secure tournament.
