The highly anticipated Abuja All-Stars tournament has kicked off with excitement, featuring over 20 teams competing over one month. The tournament showcases a mix of ex-internationals and captains of industry promising a thrilling display of talent.
Defending champions All Stars International set the tone by dominating City Gate Sporting Club with a commanding 4-0 victory in the opening match. All Stars International coach Zakari Musa attributed the win to the team’s strong cohesion and commitment to training. “There is great understanding among the players, and regular participation in training has made us the team to beat.

But we’ve learned a lot and will work on these areas ahead of our next matches,” Omeje remarked.
