The inaugural Edo Global Football Fiesta, an Under-16 tournament organised by Naija Global Sports Enterprise Solution, has secured significant support following a courtesy visit to Edo State Football Association Chairman, Fred Newton Erhumwense.

Led by the Local Organising Committee Chairmen, Itietie Omojevwe J and Mr. Ikuomase Edosa, the organisers shared plans for the December 2025 tournament, highlighting backing from the Edo State Civil Society Organisations (EDOCSO).

Erhumwense expressed enthusiasm for the event, pledging the FA’s full support to ensure its success.

He praised the organisers’ efforts to advance youth football in Edo State.

Beyond football, the tournament aims to address social issues like cultism and drug abuse, reflecting the organisers’ commitment to youth well-being.

They commended Erhumwense’s contributions to football development and promised regular updates.

The meeting concluded with the presentation of a branded t-shirt to the Chairman and a photo session. With this support, the Edo Global Football Fiesta is poised for success.
