The third edition of Nigeria’s biggest amateur football tournament has come to an end. The 1xCup 2025 has reached new heights and demonstrated its ability to grow. A large platform for development Nowadays, football lacks street spirit – the game is increasingly subject to robotization and strict tactical formations. But to the same extent, the boys who kick a ball around with their friends lack organization and the atmosphere of real competition. Nigeria is rich in talented footballers, but due to fierce competition, not every player is noticed by scouts at the early stages of his career. That’s why, for many footballers, the 1xCup has become an opportunity to get a chance and attract attention. 1xBet understands that talented players need support. We remember Jay-Jay Okocha’s brilliance and admire Victor Osimhen’s ingenuity. However, these are players with obvious star talent. Others need more opportunities to reach their potential. The 1xCup has become a tournament where ordinary guys can feel part of a major competition that is interesting not only to the participants, their families and friends. Here are the attributes of a serious tournament: More than 450 teams submitted applications to participate, although a year ago, over 160 applications seemed like a huge number. The 1xCup has become even bigger and more ambitious. New places have been added to Nigeria’s football map, as earlier, many clubs and players just didn’t have the opportunity to prove themselves. Spectators actively filled the stadiums and set attendance records. Over the past 3 years, fans have developed their favorites, and the teams have become recognizable. Dozens of media reports and comments from well-known Nigerian football personalities are the best proof that the 1xCup has risen to national prominence. “The grand finale at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena was truly electrifying — the atmosphere was filled with excitement, unity, and fanfare that transformed the arena into a vibrant carnival, surpassing every expectation of grassroots football in Nigeria”, Alhaji Waheed Akanni stated. One of the organizers modestly failed to mention his tremendous efforts. Without his managerial skills and control over every detail of the tournament, the 1xCup 2025 would have lost a lot of its quality. New champions The level of competition in the tournament is very high. None of the four best teams in the 1xCup 2024 made it to the semi-finals this year. Past achievements mean nothing, and you have to prove your class in every game. The 1xCup 2025 has new champions – the third ones in 3 years. On October 16, at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena (Lagos), Ikorodu City FC won the final against ISAGT Athletics thanks to a single goal. The winners correctly managed their energy throughout the tournament, remaining undefeated in 7 matches and conceding only 2 goals. The champions showed a thorough approach to the task at hand and came out on top among equals. Many teams have revised their attitude towards amateur football and adopted professional methods. This includes coaches’ preparations for games and players’ eagerness to understand the aspects of tactics and team play, rather than simply relying on individual skills. The winners received 10,000,000 NGN - half of the prize pool. The runners-up, the third place match winners, and the best individual performers were rewarded as well. Football is a team sport, but individuals are essential in this game. More than just football History has seen many examples of major sporting tournaments providing a significant boost to a country’s development. The 1xCup doesn’t claim such glories, but is pleased to have gone beyond the football pitch. Before the tournament began, the condition of the stadiums had been improved. 1xCup matches were broadcast live - the experience gained will help improve the quality of broadcasts. Local businesses responded to the interest in the tournament by organizing high-quality catering. “Bread and games” is a well-known principle. The fans saw the games on the football pitch, while the sellers provided the bread and drinks. The tournament brings communities together, as the spirit of sport unites people and fosters a positive culture. Nigerian football is getting a new lease of life, continuing the great journey that began in 2023. The 1xCup 2025 has reached new heights, but that’s no reason to rest on our laurels. 1xBet intends to continue improving the image of Nigerian football and wants the 1xCup 2026 to surpass its predecessors.

1xCup continues its great journey: 1xBet contributes to the development of football, a new generation of talented players and the social aspect
