“This event began in a time where competitive football was absent and we took it upon ourselves to revamp the competitive spirit by starting our own small goal tournament starting with eight teams and a little cash prize. Fast forward three years later, we have Lets Bet Sports on board as our main sponsor which is testament to the growth of this event,” he said.
