Gwagwalada Elders Forum to Lead 20th Anniversary of Gwagwalada League
Joel Ajayi
In a move seen as a gesture of respect and honor, the Gwagwalada Football Council has handed over the organization of the 20th Anniversary of the Gwagwalada League to the Gwagwalada Elders Forum in recognition of their “invaluable contributions to the development and unity of football” in the area.
The landmark edition of the Gwagwalada League is expected to ignite excitement among football lovers across Gwagwalada and the wider Federal Capital Territory (FCT), with organizers promising a tournament that will “throw supporters and fans into a frenzy.”
The anniversary planning committee will be headed by Elder Patrick Ngwaogu and includes respected figures such as Coach Pascal Dauda, Coach Thompson Ojukwu, Coach Chiwuba Anieriobi, and Coach Joshua Omojuyigbe, among others — all described as “men of great repute and astute administrators.”
Expressing delight at the committee’s composition, Ibrahim Bako, Chairman of the Gwagwalada Football Council, said:
“We are indeed delighted to have these great men in the Gwagwalada football ecosystem.”
Bako also issued a call for corporate sponsorships and support from “football-loving individuals” to help deliver what he described as the best league in the FCT.
The 20th Anniversary Gwagwalada League is expected to serve not only as a celebration of football history but also as a platform to inspire the next generation of players in the region.

Agada Shines with Brace as Orijent Beat Karlovac 2-0
Nigerian forward Charles Adah Agada scored twice as HNK Orijent secured a 2-0 away victory over Karlovac 1919 in the Croatian SuperSport Prva NL on Saturday.
Orijent produced an impressive performance at the Branko Čavlović-Čavlek Stadium in Karlovac to claim all three points in the league encounter.
Agada, a former Mavlon FC of Lagos attacker, was the standout performer, finding the net twice to help the visitors overcome their hosts and strengthen their position in the league campaign.
Orijent went into the half-time break with a 1-0 advantage before extending their lead in the second half.
The Nigerian striker completed his brace with the goal that made it 2-0 in the 57th minute.
Karlovac were unable to find a response as Orijent held on to their advantage to secure victory away from home.
The result represents an important boost for Orijent, who will look to build on the performance in their subsequent league fixtures.
For Agada, the brace underlines his value to the team as Orijent continue their campaign in Croatia’s second-tier football competition.
He has built an important role on loan at the club and has successfully established himself as a regular fixture in their lineup, appearing in all 8 league matches so far this season.
