From July to October, Nigeria will be the host of 1xcup, an annual amateur soccer tournament organized by the 1xbet global betting company.
The 1xcup, organized by the Global 1xbet bet company, has become one of the most prestigious base tournaments in the country, offering a 20 million 20 million awards group of 20 million and an opportunity for local talents to shine.
Registration begins from June 2 to 20.
The president and founder of the 360 team, Hamza Akeem Oladimeji, expressed a strong optimism about the team’s prospects this year.
“We want to redeem ourselves,” he said, pointing out a strengthened alignment and key players such as the captain of the Feranmi Olusegun team and the rising star Raheem Muiz.
“With fans behind us, everything is possible.”
Founded in 2013 by Oladimeji in Surulere, Lagos, the 360 team was born from a desire to give young and talented children a platform to excel through football.
The team participated in the 1xcup 2024, but faced challenges due to the absence of some key players who had moved abroad for professional opportunities.
Despite the reverse, a memorable match against Bariga United, marked by intense support of fans, left a lasting impression on the team.
“The atmosphere was felt as a final of the Champions League,” Oladimeji recalled.
“We lost, but there was no bitterness.
“The spirit of unity and sportsmanship inspired us to return stronger.”
The 1xcup has become a launch launch for amateur players who point to professional careers, with explorers and fans by closely observing the next Nigerian football stars.
“Some of these boys could be the next Jay-Jay Okocha or Victor Osimhen,” said Oladimeji.
In addition to national pride and recognition, participants are also attracted to the rich incentives of the tournament.
The champions will receive ₦ 10 million, while the best goal scorer will win an ₦ 300,000 and tickets for Nigeria matches in the 2025 Africa Cup.
Registration for the tournament extends from June 2 to 20.
As the anticipation is developed, the 360 team and other community teams throughout the country are training hard for an opportunity for glory.
