The twenty-four participating football teams are drawn from six ethnic groups of Ijaw, Itsekiri, Ika, Isoko, Ndokwa, and Urhobo in Delta State.

Comrade Mulade said the event started ten years ago is aimed a fostering unity among Ijaw and Itsekiri ethnic groups but was expanded to include four other groups in the 5th edition to promote harmony among all ethnic groups in Delta State in support of the State’s Government development agenda.

He disclosed that the initiative is currently supported by the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, in line with its mandate to promote peaceful coexistence among oil-producing communities in the state.
The competition is also aimed at discovering young football talents in line with the Catch Them Young advocacy of Center for Peace and Environmental Justice, CEPEJ.
