This year’s edition of the grassroot championship will kick off in October at six centres in Lagos and Ogun State respectively. The centres are Igando, Mushin, Ejigbo, Ebutte Meta, Abesan in Lagos and Otta in Ogun State.
Chairman of the Local Organising Committee (LOC) Prince Gbadamosi Adebola Sulaimon said that more than 32 teams in the Under-15 category have signified their interests to vie for the top prizes.
Sulaiman stated: “This edition, also promises to be better than that of last year in terms of officiating, as we plan to use graded referees for matches.
“One issue we have always taken seriously is age-cheat. For this year’s edition, all goalkeepers must not be more than 55kg, while 50kg is for players. Teams must note too that their goalkeeper will be restricted to goalkeeping duties alone. This implies that they won’t be allowed to take set-pieces (free kicks and penalties during the game duration) but can take part in penalty shootouts.”
