Organisers of the Adamu Yola Cup have revealed that 65 teams are participating in the 5th edition of the championship.
The grassroots football tournament, which is taking place in four local government areas in Gombe South, will end on December 29.
It has 65 teams drawn from Balanga, Billiri, Kaltungo, and Shongom LGA teams competing for honours in the championship.
Speaking on the championship, Head of Technical/Local Organising Committee, Promise Uwaeme said the tournament is being used to expose the youths and also give them the platform to exhibit their skills.
“The Adamu Yola Cup has come to stay. Over the past editions, talents discovered in the tournament have taken their skills to better places.
“Our vision is to help youths be more focused in their career and imbibe good character as they grow. We used strict measures to register the clubs participating in the tournament to avoid any anomalies.”
He added, “We are determined to instill discipline and good conduct to the clubs.”
The donor, Pastor Yakubu Adamu Yola, and Engr Sule performed the draws.
Also at the draws were Mr. Julius Ishaya Lepes – Gombe State Honourable Commissioner of Youth and Sports and Mr. Yakubu Salma – Gombe State FA Chairman.
