Speaking to Sports247 in an exclusive interview, Chief Ike Okorafor a member of SMC expressed his satisfaction with the event’s success. “We always try our best. It may not be the best anywhere, but we always make sure things go the way they are supposed to go. We always try to add something new to each competition so that makes it unique,” he said.
Okorafor’s prediction of a 1-0 victory in favor of Island All Stars at halftime came to pass, much to his delight. “I saw that there was a chance, a very big chance for Island All Stars to go ahead with one goal. In fact, they should have done that in the first half. But then in the second half, I knew that the other team was going to get worn out a little bit because they needed to run around so much to get the ball. So I saw it coming. And I’m happy that my prediction came to fruition,” he explained.
The victory was a significant achievement for the Island All Stars, who have consistently demonstrated their prowess on the football field. The club’s success has not only been on the pitch but also in securing sponsorships, a feat that Okorafor attributes to the club’s appeal and strong network.
Okorafor took the opportunity to express his gratitude to the sponsors who made the event possible. “Zidora, thank you so much for all you have done for us. Our man, Innocent Izubundu, who was not here today, special thanks for also supporting us. And I will also want to support Sports247, you have always been there whenever we call you. And in fact, everyone that made this occasion a reality, we thank you all and we appreciate you,” he said.
In conclusion, the Island All Stars’ victory in the Super Cup is a testament to their skill, determination, and excellent organisation. Their success in securing sponsorships demonstrates the club’s appeal and strong network. As they celebrate their victory, fans and players alike eagerly anticipate what the future holds for this formidable team.
