Speaking at the press briefing yesterday, ahead of Saturday’s grand finale of the tournament aimed at engaging the youth meaningfully and unearth football talents from the six area councils of FCT, Istifanus said the players that will be discovered from the competition will represent FCT at the Gateway 2024 National Sports Festival in Ogun State. 

“This is a viable initiative and we appreciate the organisers for engaging youngsters through the football competition.

“I’m happy that the women have come of age  challenging men in organising viable programmes that will empower the youth. This programme is being watched globally and our football coaches were mandated to scout talents that will represent FCT at the next year’s National Sports Festival in Ogun State,” Istifanus said.
