The 2026 edition of women’s soccer championship started on an exciting note in Ifo, Ogun State, with matchday 1 offering competitive action in the U10, U13 and U15 categories.
One of the highlights of the opening day came in the U13 division, where Femmco FC recorded an impressive 3-1 victory over Solace FA. The match was defined by a sensational individual performance by Akanji Jibola, who scored all three of his team’s goals to secure a resounding victory.

Jibola’s clinical finishing and attacking awareness proved too much for Solace FA as he completed a well-achieved hat-trick. Victor Olaleye managed to close the gap for Solace FA, but it was not enough to alter the result.
Speaking after the match, Jibola expressed his delight at his performance and attributed the victory to his teammates and coaching staff.
“I’m very excited with my performance today, scoring three goals to help my team,” he said.
“I appreciate my teammates and coach for the focus and determination as we hope to do better in our upcoming games.”
The young striker also spoke about his inspiration, revealing a personal motivation behind his growing ambition. Jibola is the younger brother of Akanji Seun, who plays for Sporting Lagos and secured a transfer to a Norwegian team last year.
“Yes, my brother’s success motivates me, but I want to set my own goals and achieve more for the future,” he added.
Jibola’s performance not only secured three points for Femmco FC, but also marked him as one of the first players to watch in this year’s competition. As the tournament progresses, expectations will be high for the young striker to maintain his impressive form.
