‘Football Festival Fosters Peace, Unity Among Youths’
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Excel Exquisite Wear in Port Harcourt, Buchi F. Will, says the purpose of organising Port Harcourt Football Festival is to bring back the lost peace and unity among youths.
She stated that in the one week football event, children were taught morals alongside with the football competition.
Will said this while briefing sports journalists at the weekend, during the closing ceremony of the under 13-15 Port Harcourt Football Festival, held at Yakubu Gowon stadium, Port Harcourt.
“We are trying to bring back peace and unity among children. During the competition morals were taught. To me this is the most vital way to bring them back together through sports”, Will said.
According to her, the competition, is to create an avenue for them to gain admission in the Real Madrid Football Academy and eradicate restiveness.
She expressed happiness for the huge turn out, adding that the second edition was better than the first.
“The turn out of youths was impressive. They came from far and near to participate. I did not believe that the participation will be much better than the maiden edition. We are moving forward”, she stated.
