Kwara FA targets more sponsors as Flow FM deal raises the bar of football development

Kwara FA targets more sponsors as Flow FM raises the bar of football development 

The Kwara State Football Association has declared its readiness for more partnerships and collaborations aimed at advancing football development from the grassroots level.

Chairman of the association, Mallam Idris Musa Abdullahi, made this known on Sunday while speaking with journalists after the final of this year’s FA Cup at the stadium complex in Ilorin.

Mallam Idris Musa explained that the association is open to accommodating more partners to complement its drive for football growth, describing the current partnership with Stefolga Flow FM as strategic and a pathway for other corporate organisations and individuals to key into football development.

He noted that the partnership helped reduce financial burdens on participating teams, as jerseys and other kits were provided through the sponsorship arrangement. According to him, this gesture will encourage more teams to participate in future editions.

The FA chairman added that the association remains committed to giving all participating teams equal opportunities to showcase their talents, citing Gaa Akanbi FC as one of the state’s representatives in the President Federation Cup.

He also dismissed claims of favouritism regarding the participation of only four teams in this year’s competition, insisting that the emergence of Gaa Akanbi as one of the representatives has vindicated the association and will inspire more clubs to participate next year.

The Kwara FA Flow FM Cup concluded on a colourful note, with instant cash rewards of #500,000, #300,000 and #200,000 for the finalists respectively
