The Lagos State Football Association LSFA, serving as the event\u2019s technical partner, announced the initiative. LSFA Chairman Hajji Gafar Liameed stated that Hajia Raliat Abdulsalam, the tournament\u2019s visionary founder, will personally disburse the appearance fees in cash. In addition to these participation incentives, cash prizes will also be awarded to the first, second, and third-placed teams.\n<\/p>\n

Twelve teams are set to compete in this grassroots tournament: Victorious Angels, CATS Ladies, Ghetto Tigers Ladies Feeders, FC Phoenix, SGH Sports Academy, Ablaze Amazons, Unizee Shella FC, Edufoot Starlets, Unification Talent, Victory Queens, Ayisat Yusuf FC, and Dannaz Ladies Feeders.\n<\/p>\n

The matches will be held at the iconic Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan Waterfront, Lagos, from April 23 to 24, 2025. Partners supporting the event include Addosser Microfinance Bank, Ivory Health Club, DigKolo, Centre Grace Assembly, the Lagos State Sports Commission, and the LSFA.\n<\/p>\n

Editorial<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

The decision to provide<\/a> every participating team in the RAAF Lagos Female Unity Cup with a \u20a6100,000 appearance fee<\/a> is not just a commendable gesture it\u2019s a clear message. A message that women\u2019s at the grassroots level deserves tangible investment and meaningful recognition.\n<\/p>\n

Far too often, female teams operate on the margins, battling for access, attention, and resources. This tournament, spearheaded by Hajia Raliat Abdulsalam and backed by committed partners, offers more than just a platform it offers dignity. When players<\/a> and clubs are supported financially, it affirms their value and validates<\/a> their contribution to the game.\n<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth noting that the use of Mobolaji Johnson Arena, a prestigious venue in Nigerian football, elevates the competition\u2019s profile. This is how you change narratives by treating female footballers with the same respect<\/a> and ceremony afforded<\/a> to their male counterparts.\n<\/p>\n

Grassroots sports thrive when vision meets support. Initiatives like this plant the seeds of future national stars while strengthening community ties. The hope now is that this isn\u2019t a one-off event but the beginning of a long term commitment to the women\u2019s game.\n<\/p>\n

Let this tournament spark<\/a> a ripple effect across other states, in other sports, and throughout the country.\n<\/p>\n
