The annual Seyi Akinwunmi Charity Foundation mini Tournament has been slated to take place on December 29 at the Maracana Stadium, Ajegunle.
Over 400 school children from all parts of the country are expected to take part in the tournament aimed at putting smiles on the faces of young ones with potential to be future leaders in the country.
Every year, the Seyi Akinwunmi Charity Foundation provides grants to school children from all the six geo-political zones of the country.
The organisisng committee of the event visited the Maracana Stadium on Saturday and after the tour of the venue, it was agreed that the 2023 edition of the SACMT must stage a successful football charity event at the Maracana Stadium in Ajegunle, involving 4 (four) male and female U-15 teams.
Additionally, the foundation aims to feed 500 indigent children and raise money to provide at least N150,000 (one hundred and fifty thousand Naira) support to 20 (twenty) children from each of the 6 (six) Nigerian geographical zones.
Mrs Jumoke Akinwunmi at the meeting on Saturday emphasized that there should be deliberate effort to ensure the children coming for this edition had huge fun and the standard should be very high.
“We should be intentional in our motives to ensure we give our best to the kids. We are giving out grants to some of them but the target is that those who will not get the grants should also have an unforgettable experience along the line. This is important because putting smiles on their faces thrill Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi himself,” she said.
The organizing committee is still working on further logistics to perfect the 2023 edition of the SACMT holding December 28 in Ajegunle.
