The stage is set for the 2025 Sarduana Negri Cup, with the draws for the tournament scheduled to take place on January 7th.

The competition, which features 16 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kwara State, promises to be an exciting display of football talent and rivalry.

Organized by Ultimate Sports Consult LTD and sponsored by the Executive Chairmen of the 16 LGAs of Kwara State, the Sarduana Negri Cup aims to promote grassroots football development and foster unity among the LGAs.

The tournament is slated to kick off on January 27th and will run until February 5th, 2025. With the draws set to take place on January 7th, fans and supporters can expect an exciting lineup of matches as the teams battle it out for the coveted trophy.

The tournament is aimed at celebrating the Executive Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who was appointed as the Sarduana of Ilorin by the Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, in September 2025.

According to the organizer, Alhaji Abdulrazaq Owolabi Wopa, "My company is organizing the competition on behalf of the executive chairmen of the sixteen LGAs of Kwara State to celebrate the game-changer, the executive governor of Kwara State, and to appreciate him for his numerous achievements in Kwara State, particularly in sports.

"I call him the game-changer because he has brought a lot of changes in the way of governance by encouraging youth participation in his government.

"He has changed the face of the capital city with his urban renewal of infrastructure. In fact, his achievements in the state so far are unparalleled.

"No governor in the history of Kwara State has ever done what he has done in his five years in office.

"There's no aspect of life that AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has not touched, whether it be health, education, agriculture, infrastructure development, roads, sports, civil service, and more.

"So, he is worthy of being appreciated and celebrated so that he can be encouraged to do even more."

"I am not the direct person honoring him with this competition; I am just the organizer. It is the executive chairmen of the sixteen local government areas of Kwara State who are showing their appreciation for their leader and mentor.

"I am simply a consultant for the project," Alhaji Abdulrazaq Owolabi Wopa explained.

The participating teams, representing their respective LGAs, are:

Ekiti LGA, Ifelodun LGA, Ilorin East LGA, Ilorin South LGA, Ilorin West LGA, Baruten LGA, Irepodun LGA, Pategi LGA, Kaiama LGA, Moro LGA, Oyun LGA, Asa LGA, Edun LGA, Oke-Ero LGA, Offa LGA, and Isin LGA.
