In this exclusive interview, Chief Suo Chapele, a brand ambassador and participant in the 1Xbet Championship, shares her insights on the tournament's impact and vision for the future of grassroots football.

The competition has brought communities together, boosting local economies and providing a platform for socializing. "We're seeing communities come together for the love of football, just like in the 90s," Chapele notes. The tournament has also created a sense of pride and ownership among the teams and their supporters.

Structure and Entertainment

The tournament offers a unique blend of structure and entertainment, with cheerleaders, mascots, and live DJs. "We're throwing everything in to make this a success," Chapele says. The organization and production quality are unprecedented in amateur football, making it an attractive spectacle for fans.

A Beacon of Hope

In a time when Nigeria needs reasons to smile, this tournament offers a glimmer of hope. "It's a way to relax, remove blood pressure, and enjoy good football," Chapele concludes. The tournament has also provided a platform for social commentary, with teams using their platforms to raise awareness about social issues.

The Future is Bright

Meanwhile, the long-term goal of the tournament is to create a sustainable model that can be replicated across Nigeria, providing opportunities for young players and communities to grow and develop.
