Plateau State FA Chairman Gives Promise And Commends Berom Nation For Giving Her Youths Platform To Excel
The Chairman of the Plateau State Football Association, Hon. Suleiman Yahaya Kwande, has commended the Berom nation for its continued contribution to football development in Plateau State.
Hon. Kwande gave the commendation during the opening ceremony of the 2026 Nzem Berom Football Tournament, where he appreciated the paramount ruler of the Berom people, Gbong Gwom Jos, Da Jacob Gyang Buba, who was represented at the event by Paul Tadi Tok.
The FA Chairman praised the Berom land for producing numerous football talents over the years, noting that the tournament provides a valuable platform for discovering young players.
According to the Pan Prince, the Plateau FA will closely monitor the competition to identify talented players who could earn opportunities with top clubs in the state, including Plateau United F.C. and Mighty Jets International F.C., as well as other clubs outside Plateau State.
Hon. Kwande also commended the organisers of the tournament for putting together the sporting event and acknowledged the efforts of some members of the organising committee, including Steve Gatcha, Pam Doyle, and Mercy Chuwang, among others, for their dedication to the success of the competition.
He urged participating teams to uphold the spirit of sportsmanship and fair play throughout the tournament. The FA Chairman further advised teams and officials to ensure that all rules are followed to avoid disputes or protests that could lead to decisions being determined through boardroom points rather than on the field of play.
The Nzem Berom Football Tournament is part of activities celebrating the Berom cultural festival and continues to serve as a platform for youth engagement, unity, and talent discovery within Plateau State.
