It is no doubt that Lagos State government is on a mission to
further carve a niche for itself. Football has been generally acknowledged as
the most unifying element as it has a way of uniting people without bias to
ethnic or religious differences.
With the growing acceptance of football in Lagos State, youths
with great potentials are scattered on the streets, passionately looking for
platforms to make their dreams come true. This passion is often exploited by some individuals, who
inordinately make business out of it by calling for screening which requires
thousands of naira.
For a greater Lagos to be achieved, there is a need for more
opportunities and platforms to be created for potential world class players in
the state to be seen. IBILE Champion’s League, which will have 90 competitive matches
has been designed to fill the gap, thereby attracting more stakeholders to see
the beauty, relevance, business and value in the football world.
Strategically designed, it will attract a global audience while
becoming the foremost sporting platform that aligns the grassroots to the
vision of the government towards achieving a Greater Lagos. IBILE Champion’s League will have different creativity
displayed—with breathtaking contents that will not just further project Lagos
State, but will also attract local and international scouts who will possibly
bring to reality the dreams of these potential football stars.
The tournament’s Project Advisory Board, Grand Patron, Patron,
Special Guest of Honor, Chief Host, Host, Special Kicker and Honorary Guest are
comprised of high-profile individuals and decision makers in Lagos politics.
According to the Managing Director, Horizontal Initiative
Concept Ltd., Mr Emmanuel Amuwo, who doubles as the initiator of the
competition, the platform will also be used to recognize individuals who have
made great impact in the development and sustainability of Lagos State.
The sporting event, themed “Using football as a tool for a
greater Lagos”, will set a pace that will further make people see community
service as a civil responsibility, thereby complementing the commendable
efforts of the state government towards giving her citizens better lives.
IBILE Champion’s League (a hope for grassroots football),is
slated to hold later in the year.
We look forward to partnerships and collaboration with
individuals and corporate organizations.
