Sixteen teams across Lagos State are expected to take part in the inaugural edition of Bilvic Soccer Fiesta scheduled to kick off on 27 September at CMS Primary School, Bariga, Lagos.
The football fiesta is organised by BFA Bariga Football Association and sponsored by Bilvic Sports Consult, a subsidiary of Bilvic International Group.
The organiser of the competition, Musa John, said the competition is organised to develop the round leather game in the area.
John said Bariga has a number of football clubs and academies and it will not be good if the association fails to organise competitions at least once in a month for clubs in the area.
‘We need to keep our youth busy because we don’t want them to get involved in social vices that can ruin their careers. This competition will help the clubs prepare better ahead of high competitions,’ he said
John expressed gratitude to the sponsor for promising to reward the winners with cash prizes. According to him, the club that finish in the first position will go home with the sum of  N500,000, the second will go home with N250,000, while clubs that finish third and fourth positions will get N150,000 and N100,000 respectively.
Meanwhile, the Cordinator of the tourney, Waheed Adekunle, has informed GSG that some clubs have submitted their registration forms, while urging other clubs to also get theirs in good time.
He said the form will close next Friday and there would be no room for late registration.
