THE stage is set for a football showdown between Sport Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Oyo State chapter and Peace Corps of Nigeria, Oyo State Command on Wednesday at the University of Ibadan Sport Council football pitch.
The Peace Novelty match is part of events scheduled for this year’s United Nations International Day of Peace which promises to be highly tactical as well as entertaining.
Speaking ahead of the match which is expected to have top personalities from UNESCO and the football fraternity in attendance, Oyo SWAN Chairman, Niyi Alebiosu, told journalists over the weekend that his team having returned from a training tour of Spain would not spare its opponent and that the entire members of the team had been motivated with prompt payment of their allowances. He thus warned the PCN team to expect a good game on Wednesday.
In his part, Patriot Adesina Oludare Adigun, PCN, Oyo State Commandant said the PCN team, which is an affiliate of the United Nations Global Compact, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), The United Nations Economic and Social Council and Federal Ministry of Youth Development are not taking the match with levity as they intend to surprise the Oyo SWAN team.
