The event will bring together 16 boys' teams and 8 girls' teams representing recognised Festac Town avenue, road and community catchments. The planned format provides for five-a-side football across two pitches, with 48 matches over two days.

Football will be combined with youth advocacy addressing drug abuse, cultism, crime and other social pressures affecting young people.

The approved ₦6,000,000 planning budget consists of:

  • ₦2,000,000 for prizes shared between the first, second and third-place boys' and girls' teams
  • ₦4,000,000 for planning, venue, medical support, security, officials, equipment, welfare, media, advocacy and event logistics

Corresponding boys' and girls' placements must receive equal prize treatment. Individual prize amounts must not be published until the final prize schedule is formally approved.

The October activation is separate from the main KUTH Soccer Fiesta Season 4 tournament scheduled for December. Participation does not create automatic qualification for Season 4.

Registration is not yet open. Team nomination rules, eligibility requirements and official registration channels will be published separately after operational readiness is confirmed.
