The brain behind the tournament, Sadiq Jimoh, said the essence of the competition is to keep the girls busy and to also show the world that Plateau has gotten some great and world class talents in women’s football.
Sadiq Jimoh concludes: “This competition is not a one off thing, it’s a competition that we want to be playing at least twice a year. We just want to get these girls engaged in what they love and know how to do best which is football. And we are making it twice a year because we don’t have much competitors for girls in Jos.”
