Other clubs participating in the tournament include Mailartanki FC of Abuja, Sunshine FC of Akure, Atlantic Business FC of Lagos, and Shuffle Select FC, also of Lagos.

The championship boasts a total prize pool of ₦40 million, with the winners set to receive ₦10 million, the runners-up ₦8 million, and other teams in the standings also eligible for substantial rewards.
The NYLC’s inaugural season, which began in April 2024, has featured 23 teams competing across two conferences: the Northern and Southern Conferences. Plateau United FC, Kano Pillars, Kwara United, and Mailartanki FC of Abuja qualified for the Super 8 from the Northern Conference, while Enyimba FC, Sunshine FC, Atlantic Business FC, and Shuffle Select FC represent the Southern Conference.

Speaking at the press conference and draw for the Super 8 competition yesterday in Abuja, the president of the Nigeria Youth League Cup (N-YLC), Robinson Adakosa, announced that the Super 8 Championship will consist of four matches each day in a round-robin format.

Adakosa reflected on the season’s challenges but assured that the league remains committed to providing opportunities for young players to excel. “This season has not only highlighted remarkable talent but has also attracted attention from European scouts, with plans to continue nurturing these young athletes,” he declared.
