Suo Chapele Sports uncovers new talents
"This tournament allows you to see people in their most natural form, which makes it unique."
Suo Chapele, the first female sports commentator in Nigeria, emphasized the 1xCup importance for developing local talents who have yet to gain recognition. In her opinion, such events create a platform for young footballers who rarely get to showcase their skills professionally. The tournament attracts the attention of not just communities trooping in to support their local teams but also expert coaches and managers, opening doors for players to integrate into semi-professional and professional teams.
"1xCup stands out for it's structure and the capability to host tournaments in different locations simultaneously. The prize money makes it special and appealing to many participants, stimulating not only athletes but the entire sports ecosystem in our country."
