The tournament, sponsored by Engr. Raphael Ademulegun, kicked off in Ajue, Odigbo Local Government on Tuesday 9th of July, 2019.

Speaking before the kick-off of the opening match, at Lasia Football pitch in Ajue, Senator Tofowomo, represented by Ademulegun, a former council boss and a chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), said the tournament is designed to promote togetherness, unity and sportsmanship among the good people of Ondo South. “This event is for the betterment of the participants and the local government at large. I encourage all the footballers to see this as a medium to propel their football careers to greater heights.

We will not hesitate to do whatever we can to ensure we keep our promises to empower the youths in whatever form as we believe they have the capacity to keep our society sane and safe for development."  Tofowomo said.
