16 local governments in the state, with a grand prize of N1 million up for grabs.

Olajide, said: “We are very pleased to bring back the Agbayewa Cup for a second year, and Nigerians (especially those in Ekiti) can look forward to a rich display of talent and excitement at every game. The Agbayewa Cup is about much more than football.
