Registration for MTN Lagos Street Soccer Begins

 

Registration of teams for Season six of the yearly MTN Lagos Street Soccer Championships begins this week across Lagos. 

 

With the introduction of the Under 15 junior category by the Local Organising Committee, LOC, teams are expected to obtain forms for the tournament at Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere.

 

According to the Executive Secretary, Deji Aladegbemi, registration forms for female and Under 15 junior categories cost N2, 000 respectively, while teams willing to take part in the male and corporate categories will purchase the forms at N5,000 and N100,000 respectively.

 

Aladegbemi said the Under 15 junior category is part of the innovation at encouraging schools’ participation in the tournament.

 

According to the Executive Secretary, the innovation became imperative for schools to be part of the competition, adding that this would allow young players to be the best they can be and maximize their talents.

 

“In line with the objectives and commitment to the development of schools sports, we believe it is important to expand the scope of the championship to accommodate students because at 15, it is either they are in school and just about to leave school,” he said.
