Kwara State first lady and matron of the 5-Stars Football Academy, Ambassador Olufolake Abdulrazaq a has pledged unwavering support for the upcoming maiden FCT Football Academy League, an initiative spearheaded by 5-Stars Football and Consultancy.
The groundbreaking league scheduled to commence from April 30th to May 11th, 2024 in Abuja, will see schools competing for the prestigious championship title.
Recognizing the pivotal role of sports in the holistic development of children, Mrs Abdulrazaq endorsed sporting events aimed to foster the growth and well-being of youngsters.
The Academy League will witness the participating schools play a compelling two-legged home and away structure, promising exhilarating football encounters. Highlights of matchdays will be broadcasted on leading television networks, amplifying the league’s reach and impact.
No fewer than eight schools, including Pacesetter’s College, Divine Mercy School, Stella Maris School, Mervyn School Academy, Aduvie International School, Premier International School and Royal Family Academy have confirmed their participation.
According to the organisers, the league not only aims for athletic excellence but also champions the ‘Champion’s Mindset’, nurturing resilience, teamwork, and leadership among participants.
Aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 10 of Reduced Inequality, a donation drive for gift items and playable toys has been tailored to support children, particularly those with autism, who may face challenges in participating. The goal is to gather a minimum of one thousand toys, symbolizing solidarity and inclusivity.
