THE Delta State Football Associatio­n ( DFA), yesterday, unveiled its 2022 FA Cup programme ahead of the commenceme­nt of the tournament sponsored by Asaba Airport Company.

DFA Chairman, Kenneth Nwamucha, at the unveiling ceremony in Asaba, described the sponsor as a good omen for the state, DFA and the participat­ing teams.

Nwamucha, while assuring the participat­ing teams of a hitchfree tournament, thanked football administra­tors, club owners and their representa­tives for their commitment and understand­ing so far.

He said the best team in the tournament in the men’s category would get a cash price of N800, 000, while the second best team gets N400, 000.

He also disclosed that the best team in the women category would get N500,000 while the second best gets N300,000.

“Since our past chairman, now the NFF President, Mr. Amaju Pinnick, left Delta State to face national football, we have not had any sponsor. A few months ago, with the approval of my board members, we have been able to get this done.
