Benue FA revives Governor’s Cup competition

Edeh, who said that the tournament had been put to rest about eight years ago, applauded the state governor, Rev Fr. Hyacinth Alia, for his administration’s support for sports promotion in the state.

The Governor’s Cup, according to Edeh, will commence on October 1, stressing that the president of the Nigeria Football Association, Ibrahim Gusau, has promised to donate a trophy for the competition.

Edeh said, “The Benue State Football Association is to resume the Governor’s Cup competition in the state, beginning from October 1, 2024.

“This competition had been absent in the state for the past eight years. It’s the governor’s determination to revive the competition as part of his administration’s intention to use sports to inspire and transform the lives of our youths in the state.

The tournament, according to Edeh, will feature one team from each of the 23 local government areas in the state, noting that participating players must be indigenes of the state.
