The Organizing Committee for the 2019 edition of Family Worship Center FWC Champions FCT Secondary School Football Competitio­n on Wednesday conducted the draw for the tournament.

Following the conclusion of the preliminar­y draw, the tourney will be played at six different centers across 6 area councils which includes, Gwagwalada, Karu, Kubwa, Garki, Kuje and Abaji respective­ly, where a total of 60 Public Schools in FCT and its environs be competing for honours.

Speaking during the draw and press conference in Abuja, the Chairman Management board FWC Champions Pastor Yakubu Adamu Yola explained that the aim of the competitio­n is not to make money but to give back to the society.

According to him, this is not to get anything for ourselves or means of making money.

“It’s not something we’re doing not to make a name for ourselves, it’s equally served as our own Social Corporate responsibi­lity to the FCT.

“Developmen­t must start from the Grassroots and if we’re able to get to the schools, we believe that most of the boys at their youthful age will be useful to themselves and society at large, so it’s a project very close to our hearts.

“We are hoping that this competitio­n is not just going to be a one-time thing. That is something that is going to be sustained over time. We are hoping that it will be an annual thing and that through this project. We’ll be able to discover talents that go far in football,” he assured.
