Emmanuel Okwudili, the Chairman of the Organising Committee, said the second edition promised to be bigger and better than the first edition.
Okwudili said the idea of the tournament was to encourage school sports in Anambra and Nigeria in general adding that they were happy with what they have been able to achieve with little resources available to them.
“The first edition was for schools within Nnewi North LGA but in this second edition, we are expanding it to accommodate schools in Nnewi and neighbouring towns.
“Some of the players we discovered in the last tournament will be playing in this year’s Anambra state FA Cup.
“We are happy for the success so far and we are working hard to achieve a great tournament,” he said.
