Over 160 secondary schools across all 16 local government areas of Ekiti State are competing at the third edition of the Agbeyewa Cup Football Tournament, with the final to be played on October 28, 2025.
The competition, organised by Agbeyewa Farms in partnership with the Ekiti State Ministry of Education, is designed to promote youth development through sports whilst fostering healthy rivalry, discipline and sportsmanship among students.
Winners of this year’s edition stand to receive substantial rewards, with the champions taking home N1 million, the first runner-up N750,000, the second runner-up N500,000 and the third runner-up N250,000. Additionally, each local government winner will be awarded N30,000, whilst the best player will also receive N30,000.
Speaking on the competition, Dauda Lawal, Director of Community Engagement at Agbeyewa, expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming edition.
“We are delighted to host the third edition of the Agbeyewa Cup. Nigerians, particularly those in Ekiti, can look forward to a vibrant showcase of talent and excitement at every stage of the tournament,” he said.
“Beyond football, the Agbeyewa Cup is about building character, resilience and community spirit among young people. This reflects our Chairman, Niyi John Olajide’s vision of empowering the next generation to thrive both on and off the field.”
According to fixtures from the Directorate of School Sports at the Ekiti State Ministry of Education, the 2025 tournament kicked off with preliminary rounds across local government areas from October 6 to 14. Victorious teams will progress to the knockout stages, with the Round of 16 scheduled for Thursday, October 16, followed by the quarter-finals on Tuesday, October 21, and the semi-finals on Thursday, October 23.
The competition will culminate in a grand finale at the Kayode Oluyemi Stadium, Ado-Ekiti, where the third-place match and the final will be played on Tuesday, October 28.
The tournament has steadily grown in prestige since its inception, with Christ School, Ado-Ekiti, emerging as champions in the inaugural edition in 2023, and Omuo-Ore High School lifting the trophy in 2024.
As part of its corporate social responsibility, Agbeyewa Farms, through its Directorate of Community Engagement, remains committed to championing initiatives that strengthen communities and transform lives across Ekiti State.
