2021 Zenith Bank Delta Principals’ Cup commences October 7

The fifth edition of the Zenith Bank Sponsored Delta State Principals’ Cup is billed to kick-off on October 7 at St. Patrick’s College Asaba, the Delta State capital.

Already organisers of the Zenith/Delta Principals Cup football competition for secondary schools are working on setting up of the Local Organising Committee for the annual tournament.

At the moment, leading sports officials in the state and the newlyappointed Commissioner for Secondary School Education, Mrs Rose Ezewu, have stepped up preparation for a hitch-free competition.

Sponsors, Zenith Bank, has also declared readiness for the annual event as the management has told its partners, Delta State, to go ahead with the modalities to make this year’s event special.

Consequently, organisers have announced that a press conference to herald the competition will be held next month in Asaba.

The third place and the final matches are billed for November 25 at the Stephen Keshi UltraModern Stadium, Asaba.

“We are looking at getting the schools involved in the planning so that it will not clash with school programmes in any way. “Because the competition did not take place next year, we are putting extra effort to create awareness and bring back the glamour so that the young ones will enjoy themselves,” one of the organisers said.

The winner of this edition will be registered for the National Principals Cup competition next year.

It would be recalled that School of Commerce Warri emerged winners of the 2019 Zenith Bank/Delta Principals’ Cup after defeating Zappa Mixed School, Asaba 2-1.
