The 2023 edition of the JOF U-13 Football Championship got underway in Lagos with the opening match played at the Abalti Barracks Sports Arena in Surulere, Lagos, southwest Nigeria on Sunday 12th March 2023.

The first match of the 4th JOF U-13 Cup lived up to expectations as the two teams, Wazbak Babes from Lagos Mainland and Sparrow Boys of Bariga displayed good football artistry to the delight of fans and dignitaries who thronged the Abalti Barracks to watch the game.

Wazbak Babes, however, carried the day as they whitewashed the Sparrow Boys 3-0 to send a strong message to other teams in this year’s tournament that they are in the race for the coveted trophy.
