The Delta State Football Association (DFA) has officially announced that the State FA Cup will commence from the 12th to the 30th of March, 2024.
Sapele Township Stadium and Kwale Stadium have been designated as the venues for the matches according to a statement from the DFA Media.
A total of 17 teams, consisting of four female clubs and 13 male clubs, have registered to participate in this year’s competition.
The event promises to showcase the talent and passion for football across the state.
Addressing the participating teams, Honorable Ken Nwamuocha, Chairman of the Delta State Football Association, emphasized the importance of fair play and tolerance. He urged the teams to conduct themselves with integrity throughout the tournament.
Honorable Steve Cole, Vice Chairman of the DFA and head of the competition committee, revealed that the low turnout of teams was attributed to the high registration fees imposed by the Nigeria Football Federation. He called upon the registered teams to adhere to the rules of the game and exhibit proper conduct on and off the field.
The eventual winners of the Delta State FA Cup will not only claim a cash prize of 1.5 million but will also have the honor of representing the state at the national FA Cup playoff competition for 2024.
Football enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the kickoff of this prestigious tournament, which promises to deliver thrilling matches and unforgettable moments.
