The African Heroes Penalty Cup will be held in Lagos at yet-to-be-announced date later this year.

The eight African countries that will participate in the inaugural edition include Nigeria as host, Morocco, Ghana, South Africa, Cameroon, Mali, Cote D’Ivoire and Senegal.

Each country will have three representatives to play a knockout quarter-final game till the finalist emerges to produce the eventual winners of the competition.

Jay Jay Okocha will be the Tournament Facilitator of the African Heroes Penalty Cup in which he will feature alongside Daniel Amokachi and Finidi George to represent Nigeria.

The former Super Eagles captain is happy for the opportunity to be reunited with former teammates on the pitch of play just like the old days.

“The attention for me is to have the opportunity to compete once again, this our comfort zone, no pressure to perform. Although it is a competition, I will be meeting with my former colleagues and foes,” says Okocha.
