Nigeria’s representatives in this year’s CAF African Schools Football Championship, National Grammar School, Nike, Enugu State, had a fantastic start with a 4-0 victory over their Togolese counterparts as the WAFU B Zonal Finals of the championship began in Lome on Thursday.

National Grammar School emerged as champions of a national championship held in the Federal Capital, Abuja, from the 2nd to the 9th of November, featuring a total of 11 teams from nine states of the federation.

In the female category, FOSLA Academy, the stellar football+education project of former NFF President Alhaji Sani Lulu Abdullahi, emerged champions of a three-team competition and is representing Nigeria in the female event.

Representatives from Nigeria, Benin Republic, Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, and host Togo are converging in Lome for the four-day WAFU B zonal finals that will end on Sunday, with matches at the Stade Municipal de Kegue.

The winner in Lome, where the competition is played in a round-robin format, will fly WAFU B’s flag at the continental finals slated for April 2024.

The zonal finals are being staged alongside the WAFU B Congress, attended by the President of Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, and the General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi.
