Diamond Academy football club of Gwagwalada defeated their counterpart Sheikhadam FC of Gwagwalada 1-0, to emerge the winner of the second edition of the Odogwu championship.
The game played inside the UBE Primary School, Kutunku, in Gwagwalada with the crowd cheering their team, was adjudged one of the best grassroots tournaments in the town.

On Friday, Ejiwumi Academy defeated 2S Academy in the third-place match, to emerge the second runner-up.
Speaking shortly after the Game, the organizer of the Odogwu U. 15, Patrick Ngwaogu (Odogwu Ndi Abia), who is full of joy, said that his desire is to make Odogwu tournament a national championship in the nearest future.
According to him, it was an interesting journey from beginning to end, I watched virtually all the matches.
“The most important thing is that the concept behind the tournament, which is a holiday program, is to keep the youth busy throughout the holiday period because when they are occupied, they wouldn’t have time for any social vices that can affect them negatively.”
When asked if he accomplished his objective? He replied: “Yes, if you look at the quality of games, quality of players that participated in the tournament, you will see that these youth have a lot to offer this the country as we speak, we have penciled down about three of the players, we are going to forward their names to the national under 15 teams when they resume, so that they will further take a look at them; they have the quality to make a difference in the game in the nearest future.
“I am looking at the tournament being a national project as time goes on, we will extend it to FCT and it is going to be a national tournament in the nearest future”.
He, however, urged all Nigerians, especially those who are in the position to assist, to be passionate about the game: “When you have the passion, you will always like to give back, it’s not about having big money but for the interest of the youth.” He appealed.
