The annual Agba’Akin Benedict Akika Christmas Cup is more than just a football tournament; it is a catalyst for sports development in Oyo State. Organized by Hon. Oyedokun Ilelaboye, a Passionate Youth Public Relations Officer of the Omituntun Benedict Forum, the event is to celebrate local talent and foster community spirit.

Hosting in Eniosa Olorunda-Abaa, the tournament shall feature spirited matches between young teams from across the state.

Named after the revered philanthropist, Omoluabi Chief Benedict Akika (Aare Agba’Akin Ataiyse Omoluabi Oodua Agbaye and Agbaakin of Olorunda-Aba), the event shall pay homage to his legacy of community service and youth development.

Hon. Ilelaboye emphasized the tournament’s broader purpose: “It’s not just about football. We aim to discover and nurture young talent, empowering them to succeed on and off the field. Our goal is to contribute to a healthier and more prosperous society.”

The event shall surely receive significant backing from the state government led by His Excellency Engr. Seyi Makinde, the Executive Governor of Oyo State who recognized the power of sports to unite communities and inspire youth.

“The Agba’Akin Christmas Cup aligns with our commitment to youth empowerment and sports development,” he said.

“We’ll continue to support initiatives that uplift our young people.”
Beyond the competition, the tournament celebrated the Omoluabi spirit – a core value of the Yoruba people emphasizing integrity, respect, and community.

By honouring Chief Akika’s legacy, the event reinforces these values among the young participants.

Local community leaders and youth shall play crucial roles in organizing the event.

The Omituntun Benedict Forum demonstrated its dedication to harnessing the power of sports for positive change.

For many young players, the tournament is a life-changing experience.

As the tournament is to hold December 2024 as usual, it is clear that the Agba’Akin Christmas Cup is more than a seasonal event. It’s a tradition in the making, poised to shape the future of sports in Oyo State.

Hon. Ilelaboye and his team have ignited a spark that will continue to inspire and empower the state’s youth.
