Ten teams are battling for honours in the Governor Okowa pre-season football tournament which kicked off on Wednesday, September 11, 2019, at the Stephen Keshi International Stadium in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

The teams have been shared into two groups thus:

GROUP A: Rivers United, Niger Tornadoes, MFM, Abia Warriors and Delta Force.
