Arochukwu, Nigeria – In today’s intense match of the maiden female football competition hosted by the Ifeanyi Ogbonna Movement (IOM), Amasu emerged victorious over Obinkita with a 1-0 win. The lone goal was scored midway through the first half, turning the tide in favor of Amasu in what proved to be a closely contested game.
The match, held on Sunday, June 23, 2024, at the Aggrey C Field in ASCETA, was a display of determination and skill from both villages. The ball possession was evenly split at 50/50, but Amasu managed to create more goal attempts, corner kicks, and throw-ins. Despite Obinkita’s best efforts to equalize, they could not break through Amasu’s defense.
Amasu’s victory was unexpected for many, as Obinkita’s supporters had believed their village would dominate the smaller Amasu community. The match recorded the largest attendance so far in the tournament, with fans and supporters coming out in large numbers to cheer on their teams.
Following their defeat, the Obinkita female football team expressed their determination to defeat Amasu in future events, particularly in the Ekpo Masquerade. They remain hopeful of being selected as the best loser, should they be given another chance in the competition.
The Ifeanyi Ogbonna Movement, led by Hon. Ifeanyi Ogbonna as the CEO, continues to gain popularity and accolades. The initiative has successfully united the Aros through the power of football, fostering a spirit of camaraderie and healthy competition.
