Smart City FC have been crowned champions of the Jagaban Cup 2024 after defeating 36 Lions Football Club 5-4 on penalty shot following a nervy 1-1 regulation time draw, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
This is this second edition of the prestigious Jagaban Cup, which according to the organizers, is ostensibly aimed at giving quality opportunities to the hundreds of hapless, but equally talented young footballers to display their innate talents and of course, get the chances to achieve their goals.
The defending champions 36 Lion FC who won the first edition failed to defend their crown as the inaugural winner at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena following a nerve cracking penalty shoot out.
The Jagaban Cup aims to provides the much-sought football business opportunities to clubside owners, football investors and several other stakeholders. It is definitely, not your run-of-the-mill football tournament. It is refreshingly different.
