Every 1xCup fixture is a showcase of passion, identity and ambition. Four distinct teams are set to compete, each with their own rituals, objectives and driving spirit—but all share the hunger to lift the trophy.

Young Striker FC
bit.ly
Seen as the face of grassroots football, Young Striker FC have no sponsors and rely purely on player commitment. Their guiding principle is tactical discipline, which they believe will carry them far. For them, Ikorodu City represent the toughest obstacle due to their compact, well-organised style of play.

The team typically gathers four hours before kick-off to plan their strategy. Practical in outlook, they split prize money between player welfare and logistics. They may lack a major backer, but they conduct themselves with the foresight of a professional club.

Africano FC

Africano FC approach every match as a challenge and a lesson. They centre their philosophy on belief and unity, not endless training sessions. Players draw strength from a shared prayer and their team slogan, which binds them together.

Should they money, Africano intend to build a mini-camp or hostel for footballers, creating a legacy beyond the pitch.

Inspire Sport Academy

For Inspire Sport Academy, football is both a mission and a pathway. Their focus extends beyond victory to nurturing future stars. Any winnings will be reinvested into training equipment for young players.

They view reigning champions Bethel as their fiercest rivals, but their recent narrow victory underscored their resolve. Their ritual—a collective prayer—provides calmness and belief before each game.

Brighton FC

Brighton FC’s philosophy is simple: football is football, and no opponent should be feared. Their ritual prayer focuses not on results but on the health and safety of every player.

If they claim the title, their prize money will go towards a team bus, a move aimed at enhancing development and opening new doors for the club.

The battles at the 1xCup are expected to be fierce and captivating, promising fans thrilling encounters and unforgettable moments.
