Super 4 Finals Set for Sept. 15
The Rising Stars Football League held its first Ultimate Skills Challenge at Bwari Stadium, marking a thrilling day of youth empowerment and athletic talent. This event provided a platform for young players to showcase their skills and compete for substantial cash rewards, reinforcing the leagueโs commitment to developing grassroots football talent.
Unlike previous challenges that involved random fans, this yearโs competition on July 24, 2024 featured 22 selected players from the recently concluded league season. These players were chosen for their outstanding performances and were given another chance to demonstrate their abilities.
The event ensured that all participants were rewarded for their efforts, with each player receiving an appearance fee of N10,000. The top three performers walked away with significant cash prizes: Emmanuel King emerged as the winner of the skills challenge and took home N250,000. Onyedika Philip secured second place with a prize of N100,000, while Godwin John finished third and received N50,000.
This initiative by the Rising Stars Football League was more than just a competition; it was a deliberate effort to empower youth and support the development of football skills at the grassroots level. With over one million Naira distributed among the participants, the league demonstrated its dedication to inspiring young talents and contributing to community development.
The Rising Stars Football League continues to provide opportunities for young players to excel, with more exciting packages and initiatives planned for the future. The Super 4 finals will be played at the Noshood Abiola stadium on September 15, as the city buzzes in excitement.
