Setting the Stage: The 3rd KUTH Soccer Fiesta
Press Conference — October 30, 2019 | Lagos
On October 30, 2019, two weeks before kickoff, Engr. Gerald A. Azonobo stood before supporters, sponsors, and the press to declare a bold vision: the 3rd KUTH Soccer Fiesta would not merely be a tournament — it would be a talent pipeline from Lagos streets to professional football, home and abroad.
The Legacy
Festac Town's Football History
Festac Town has produced some of Nigeria's finest footballers who have graced international stages. This legacy of excellence forms the foundation upon which KUTH Soccer Fiesta was built.
“That pipeline has slowed. This is necessity.”
— Engr. Gerald A. Azonobo
