The founder of Ratels Sport Development Foundation (RSDF) Barrister Paul Edeh has been elected as the chairman of Benue State Football Association (BSFA).

Barr Edeh polled 28 votes to defeat former Super Eagles coach, Godwin Uwua who got only one vote.

The election which was devoid of any controversies was done in Makurdi and monitored by NFF representatives.

After leading the BSFA for some years, NFF board member RT Hon Margaret Icheen stepped down to allow other qualified candidates contest for the Chairmanship position.

Barr Edeh has contributed to the growth of football in Nigeria as he founded Naija Ratels FC based in Abuja and Honey Badgers in Benue.

He remains the first individual to organize a preseason program for women football clubs in Nigeria named the RSDF Preseason tournament in Makurdi in 2019 which was won by Edo Queens.
