The Opening ceremony of the Winners Golden Bet/Lagos SWAN Cup for the year 2016 will flag off on Friday with veterans from the Lagos SWAN team taking on the Lagos State Sports Commission at the Main Bowl of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
The game is part of the activities highlighted for the one-week 2016 Lagos SWAN cup, with various sporting organisations/media battling for 100,000 cash prize alongside individual awards.
The game is scheduled for 3pm kick off time, with the likes of Lagos State Sports Commission team led by last year’s Winners Golden Bet/Lagos SWAN cup Most Valuable Player and current Chairman of LSSC, Deji Tinubiu.
The team will also feature stars like Ayo Agbesanwa, Director General LSSC, Anthony Adeboye (Senior Special Assistant to the Lagos State Governor on Sports), Bolaji Yusuf (Senior Special Assistant to the Lagos State Governor on facilities) amongst others.
Meanwhile, retired Nigeria Television Authority’s living legend, Paul Ogazi, will lead the SWAN veterans all stars team, alongside, Deji Balogun (General Manager, Lagos Television), Tony Nezianya (Managing Editor/ Head of Sports Desk NAN), Fred Edoreh (incumbent Chairman, Lagos SWAN), Wale Joseph (Deputy National Secretary, SWAN) with others who have confirmed their participation.
According to Debo Oshundun, Chairman of the Lagos SWAN Sports Committee, “The competition is getting bigger and better with the support of our members, headline sponsor, Winners Golden Bet and partners, FC IfeanyiUbah and Zenith Sports.
"We enjoin all members to take advantage of this unique opportunity to show their support to the association by coming out cheer all participating teams."
In what seems to be an icing on an already sweet cake, newly elected National President of SWAN, Mr. Honor Sirawoo, has confirmed his attendance in what will be his first official visit to the state after his election.
In a related development, Oshundun appealed to all participating teams to ensure they pay the mandatory N 2,000 participation fee on or before Monday.
"We need to emphasize that the committee this year will be strict in its application of rules and regulations as regards participation in the Winners Golden Bet/Lagos SWAN week. Before any team
will be eligible to participate, they must pay the participation form of N 2,000.
"Failure to do so will amount to automatic disqualification,” he said."
