“ I think we all need to go to the grassroots to fish out the raw talents if we must return Edo State to the hub of sports in Nigeria. I grew up in Benin City and I call still recall the number of football competitions we used to have in those days.
“ The Principal Cup was one of them, and I am happy to inform all gathered here tonight that the Principal Cup will back to State next year.

An elated Frank Ilaboya was quick to appreciate Mr Momoh for this. “
Once again, on behalf of Edo FA board, I want to thank Frank Momoh for coming to support us in our activities. Remember his company, the FROT Group, single handedly sponsored our Federation Cup & the newly introduced Champion of Champion tournament for teams in the South South Zone this year.
