Ikuku Unity League has arguably been one of the most decorated grassroot league in Nigeria, having featured now International footballers, like Samuel Chukwueze.
Previous seasons of the game came with a lot of preparedness from players and fans alike, but this season’s seem to be more promising.
There’s a new Mini Stadium, christened Mini Stadium Ibeku Egwu Asaa, a name that reflects the seven clans in Ibeku; 20 teams and 500+ footballers participating.
Avonkwu’s Japheth had a 10minute opener, Ugochukwu almost secured a win with the second goal of the day, but then maybe they felt at peace and carefree, only to wake up to the reality of Emede securing an equalizer with two goals in barely two minutes.
Ikuku Unity League is definitely going to see a lot of quality goals this season. Avonkwu vs Emede just gave us a whopping 6 goals per match on average. Let’s see what the remaining 39 group stage matches have in stock for us all.
