The much-anticipated Yayi Street Soccer Competition proudly sponsored by the Senator representing Ogun West, Sen. Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi will officially commence October this year across the state.
The grassroots football tournament is designed to empower youths, discover talents and give young people a platform to achieve their full potentials.
A statement issued by the organizers says the competition is open to young footballers from 18 years and registration is also at no cost.
Interested participants or football teams are encouraged to obtain and submit their forms online via www.yayistreetsoccer.com.
In line with Senator Yayi’s vision of combining sports development with civic responsibility, it has been made mandatory that every participant should have Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC).
This is aimed at encouraging indigenes of the senatorial district to be fully involved in the discourse for national development through participation in electoral exercise.
The tournament will hold across all wards in Ogun State, with the best teams advancing to the grand State finals.
Coaches, scouts, and football stakeholders will be on ground to identify promising talents who may represent Ogun State and Nigeria in the future.
“The Yayi Street Soccer Competition is more than football – it is about inspiring the next generation, promoting unity, and empowering the grassroots”, the statement says.
