Arochukwu, Nigeria – It was a day of excitement on Friday, June 21, 2024, as the first official female football competition in Arochukwu commenced. The inaugural match between Atani and Amangwu took place at Aggrey C Field, marking a historic moment for the community.
The match began at 4:00 PM with a ceremonial kickoff by Hon. Ifeanyi Ogbonna, ably represented by Mazi Henry Ogbonna, as the host was unavoidably absent due to a crucial issue that needed his attention. Despite his absence, the event was filled with high spirits as both villages and spectators gathered to witness this groundbreaking event.
The game started with enthusiasm from both sides. Miss Chidera Ruth Nwosu of Atani village made history by scoring the first goal just 10 minutes into the first half. This early goal set the tone for the match, putting pressure on the Amangwu team. Throughout the game, Atani dominated ball possession, with more goal attempts, corner kicks, and throw-ins than their opponents. Despite Amangwu’s efforts, they couldn’t break through Atani’s defense, resulting in a 1-0 victory for Atani.
