The National President of Alumni Association ( Rufus Giwa Chapter), Comr. Olufemi Eyinola has disclosed that this sport competition would foster unity among the students and the alumni association.
He said this during a panel interview at the end of the ceremonial preliminary match, at the institution's Sport Complex yesterday.
Eyinola further unveiled that the sport competition would not be focused on male and female football alone, as the association also made provision for athletes who will participate in 100 meters, 200 meters and Relay Race at the Faculty levels.
However, the first preliminary match of the competition between Faculty of Environmental Studies and Continuous Education Centre (C.E.C.) Part Time, ended *2 - 1* in favour of the Faculty of Environmental Studies.

However, on the eighty eight minute (88 min), Temitope, p.k.a. Lizmus scored a consolation goal for the team of Continuous Education Centre (C.E.C.).
Speaking with the team coach of the Faculty of Environmental Studies, Babalola Ayomikun expressed that his players impressed him and was confident his team would go far in the competition. He said this after the tournament.
Meanwhile, in another interview with the opposition team Captain, Mr. Adedara Biodun said their team played excellently, but was not fortunate to equalize, nor win the football match.
However, Biodun optimized that his team (C.E.C.), would perform better during their next match and would be victorious.
Moreso, students came en-masse to support their respective teams, as the D.J. and Oodua Cultural Group were invited, in order to make the ceremonial match remarkable.
