YSFON NATIONAL U-16 BOYS CHAMPIONSHIP 2023

Picture this: from November 27 to December 3, 2023, all eyes will be on the Ilaji Stadium & Resort Center in Akanran, Ibadan, Oyo State. Yep, you heard it right – a whole week packed with non-stop football action! 

Now, here’s the scoop straight from the Federation’s National Secretary, Patrick Okpavuerhe. If you’re from one of the state chapters, listen up! Round up your crew because you’re gonna need a squad of 20 talented players. Oh, and they’ve gotta be under 16 years old as of December 15, 2023. And here’s a tip: make sure your players weigh in at 58 kg or less and stand tall at 175 meters.

But wait, there’s more! You’ll need to bring along three officials, and guess what? One of them has to be a YSFON official. Talk about teamwork, right?

Now, don’t forget to circle Monday, December 27 on your calendar because that’s when the party starts! The teams will be rolling in, and guess who’ll be there to welcome them with open arms? Yep, a member of the national organizing committee and an Oyo State YSFON official will be waiting to give them the VIP treatment.

Oh, and one last thing before you hit the field – make sure you’ve got your team list sorted out by Friday, November 17, 2023. Why? Well, that gives the national secretariat enough time to work their magic and get everything ready, including some snazzy T-shirts for all the players.

Now, let’s talk about where you’ll be crashing during this awesome event. Say hello to Ilaji Sports Hostels! Yep, they’ve got your accommodation covered, so all you need to worry about is bringing your A-game to the field.

And here’s a little insider info: on Tuesday, November 28, it’s time to show off your skills because player screenings are happening! Trust me, you’ll want to bring your best players because word on the street is that scouts from Europe will be scouting talent throughout the tournament. Who knows? You might just catch their eye and kickstart your football dreams!

So, there you have it, folks – the lowdown on the Ilaji National U-16 boys football tournament. Get ready to make memories, score some goals, and show the world what you’re made of! See you on the field!
