The 7th edition of the U-13 JOF Kids Cup Tournament is set to enter its quarter-final stage this weekend, with matches scheduled for Wednesday, 1 April 2026.
According to the organisers, the Lagos State Grassroots Football Association, eight teams secured their places following the conclusion of the Round of 16 matches held last weekend at the Ojo Oniyun Centre and Lekki Playground in Lagos.

Also through to the last eight are Ultimate Football Academy (Coker), Smart Striker (Ogun State), and Fortune Football Academy (Oshodi).
