By Inioluwa David

A student from Igbobi College will be a beneficiary of the Seyi Akinwunmi Foundation’s scholarship at the 2025 SACF event  holding tomorrow, December 27, with a focus on mentoring and education in football.

The foundation, in its 11^th  edition gives out scholarships to students since inception in 2014

Organisers of SACF are not keen about the numbers of students that have benefited in the past 10 years but are rather focused on helping more and more every year to develop better in education and football.

Head of the Technical arm of the organizing team, Dotun Coker, confirmed that one student of the host school would be a beneficiary among other on Saturday

 “I cannot tell you a number but we set to make the participants enjoy themselves and we will also mentor them in various ways to shape their thinking about education and sports,” Coker said.

Six teams will feature in the 2025 edition with two women teams and four men teams already confirmed by the organisers.

The women teams are Golden Eko Ballers Women Team and Asisat Oshoala Girls Academy while for the boys, Golden Eko Ballers U-14 Team, Dosu Football Academy, 36 Lions Football Academy and Ikorodu City Football Academy will compete for honours.

There will also be a novelty match between Igbobi College Old Boys Association of 2000 set and the Igbobi College Old Boys Association of 2001 set.  

Igbobi College will host this edition  tomorrow with the huge support from the ICOBA 78/80 set.
