“It is good to see that the modest Tournament which started with just 3 teams last year is not attracting more teams” Tournament Founder and Director, Dr Ken Gadaffi Says
” We have so many teams wanting to join but we limited it to 6 teams due to logistic constraints, hopefully if we are able to get more sponsors in the future, we would be able to extend the number of participating teams and increase the format to a full fledged league cup” Dr Ken Gadaffi pinned.
The Format for this Year’s Tournament will see the teams grouped into two and after a home and away round-robin the two top teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals. The Finals is Scheduled to take place on June 12th.
The Tournament is being organized by the CEO Sports Development and Empowerment Initiative and founder of KG Sports Foundation, Dr. Ken Gadaffi with support from eQueue.ng, and other phillantropists.
