According to the organisers, this year’s edition, tagged “Joe Udofia Unity Cup Season 4”, ends on December 26, with 15 villages in Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State battling for the top prize of N4.5m up.

“Through this, young talents are handed opportunities to play professional football,” tournament Media Director George Essien said.



In collaboration with foreign partners, the organisers also seek to facilitate the transfers of talented players discovered during the tournament to clubs across the world.



Inaugurated four years ago with eight teams, the competition was expanded to 15 teams last year. In the first two seasons, nine teams from Use Abat community participated, while Season 3 witnessed an expansion of the tournament to six communities in Ibiaku, totaling 15 teams.
