***Oba Olofin-Adimula Encourages Spirit of SportsmanshipThe stage is now set for the maiden Iralepo Cup Football Competition which takes the center stage at the CAC Grammar School as from Sunday 14th,2024.
The Competition was formally presented to the Zonal Football Authorities at the Palace of Oba Oluwagbemiga Ajimokunola Olofin-Adimula (Arulewolasi III) by the Organising Committee led by the Olori Odo of Isinkan, Samuel Fajana.
Speaking, the Isinkan Monarch urged the participating teams to embrace the spirit of sportsmanship while he also cautioned that only those who are fit enough should be involved in the competition.
” I urge all participants to embrace the spirit of sportsmanship as the initial plan was and is still supposed to be a novelty competition among the Communities of the Isinkan Kingdom and there is also the need for the teams to use only fit players because once you don’t train it means you are not fit enough to participate in such Competitions”
Responding,the Chairman Akure South Football Council Yomi Ogunlade Congratulated and Commended Isinkan Kingdom for staging such a Competition while calling on others to emulate such effirts so that the pool for talent discovery will be expanded in the State.
“I want to personally Congratulate and commend the Kabiyesi for deeming it fit to accommodate a Football Competition as part of the Isinkan Day Celebrations and I am certain we might discover the next big talent in the State from the Competition”
Sixteen Teams will battle for the Ultimate prize in the Competition which will see 8 teams eliminated in the Knock Out Group Phase before the Semi Final and Final matches.
The venue of the Competition is already wearing a new look as Youths of Isinkan Kingdom are already looking forward to a befitting Competition which is been staged for the very first time.
