“It gives me joy to have initiated this tournament in order to give back to where I started from,” the Liverpool Ladies forward said.
“We all have our beginnings as footballers and always have stories to tell. I thank God for my career and hope to see these girls attain greater heights in the future,” the FC Robo product continued.
“I’m using this medium to urge participating teams to be good ambassadors.”
