De Kings International Academy Wins GSDI Competition
The Kings International Football Academy (KIFA) of Port Harcourt on Sunday emerged the champions of the first edition of the Grassroots Soccer Development Initiative (GSDI) football competition for Under-13 in Port Harcourt.
KIFA defeated Osaja FC 4-3 in the final match of the tournament which was held at the Number Six Field at the Old Port Harcourt Township.
Speaking with Tidesports shortly after the final match, Chief Host of the tournament, Ogbuda Blessed, said that the aim of hosting the competition was to tune up the kids and take their focus off street life.
According to him, he felt that with the competition, a lot of the kids who were roaming the streets in Port Harcourt, especially the Old Port Harcourt Township, would get involved in the competition and move away from vices.
“ This is what our late brother, Collins Wejinya, was doing, since he died, a lot of the competition have not been holding. “ As you can see, the Under-13 just ended, by October the Under -15 will commence.
