Their triumph earned them a cash reward of ₦1,000,000 (One Million Naira). Rhino FC, despite a strong and gallant performance, finished as runners-up and received a cash prize of ₦500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand Naira) in recognition of their effort and sportsmanship throughout the competition.
Earlier in the day, the Third Place Match delivered high drama as Gurum Selected FC clinched the third position after a tense 5–2 penalty shootout victory, following a hard-fought draw at regulation time. Gurum Selected were rewarded with a cash prize of ₦300,000 (Three Hundred Thousand Naira).
Beyond the results, the tournament strongly reflected the vision and commitment of Hon. (Amb.) Daniel Asama Ago, Member Representing Bassa/Jos North Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, Abuja, and Chairman, Bassa Football Association (F.A.), whose passion for grassroots sports continues to create opportunities for young talents. The competition was deliberately structured to promote sports development, youth empowerment, unity, and positive engagement across the constituency.
The grand finale was further dignified by the presence of the Plateau Football Association (PFA) Chairman, Hon. Dr. Prince Suleiman Kwande, alongside other members of the PFA Executive Committee. Also in attendance were representatives of the Players’ Union and the Coaches Association, whose presence underscored the credibility, acceptance, and growing relevance of the competition within the football community.
The Organizing Committee extends its heartfelt appreciation to the tournament organizers, match officials, technical and medical crews, security personnel, volunteers, and stadium management for their professionalism and tireless efforts which ensured the smooth execution of the event. We also thank the supporters, football lovers, community leaders, parents, team managers, and youth coordinators for their overwhelming support and cooperation throughout the tournament.
Notably, the entire competition was conducted in a peaceful, mature, and highly disciplined atmosphere. From the opening match to the grand finale, players exhibited remarkable sportsmanship and fair play, reinforcing the true spirit of football and the values the competition seeks to instill among young people.
The peaceful conduct and high level of organization recorded throughout the tournament once again reaffirm Hon. Daniel Asama Ago’s commitment to using sports as a strategic tool for youth development, social cohesion, and community building within Bassa and Jos North Federal Constituency.
