The Patron of the Rivers State Football Coaches Association gave the female team N30,000 upon realization of their participation in the competition while redeeming his pledge to the winners of the male football event with a cash prize of N100,000.
Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic field was the first pitch used by the Rivers Whales Teqball team for their training before the Yakubu Gowon Stadium was allotted to them by the Rivers State Government.
Reflecting on the importance of supporting local sports, Zaccah remarked, “Our youth are our future. By encouraging their athletic endeavors, we not only promote healthy competition but also foster a sense of community and pride.”
Teqball is played like table tennis, with two separate teams or individuals on either end of the table attempting to win points by hitting a football back and forth at their opponents.
The event, which showcased the talent and dedication of the participating teams, concluded with a renewed sense of commitment to sports development in Rivers State.
