All is set for the kickoff of the maiden edition of the Oyo Unity Cup, a brainchild of the Minister of Youth and Sports Development Mr. Sunday Dare.

The Cup, which will draw participants from across the 16 Federal Constituencies of Oyo State, the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) and the Nigerian Youth Service Corps (NYSC) will be launched tomorrow at the Soun Stadium in Ogbomoso, Oyo State.

The sponsor of the Oyo Unity Cup and Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Dare, will be in attendance at the event. Ex-internationals, Daniel Amokachi, Taribo West, Joseph Yobo and others will also be at the event to interact and inspire the young talents.

It would be recalled that the Minister had earlier said the aim of the tournament was to promote football at the grassroots level in addition to discovering young talents who will be exported to the national and international scenes from Oyo State.
