The final of the 2025 edition, which is the fifth in the series, is tentatively billed for June 12. The organisers will confirm the exact date for the final match by the weekend.

This football competition is held annually to commemorate the birthday of the former African Footballer of the Year, Victor Ikpeba.

The kick-off of the competition took place on 31st May at the Obele Odan Community Centre, Fujah Street, Surulere, Lagos. This 2025 edition is special as it is being held in honour of late Dapo Sotuminu, who served as the director and coordinator of the competition from the first edition five years ago. The journalist was also the CDA chairman.

Ikpeba, a former Super Eagles attacker and now a global football ambassador, said on Thursday in Lagos, “I thank God for how far we have been able to go despite the hitches with the state of the pitch. Hopefully, the local government and the representatives of the area will sort things out permanently going forward.”
