NSF 2022: Team Imo dedicate women’s football gold medal To Governor Uzodinma

Head coach of the Team Imo, Ramson Madu couldn’t hide his happiness as the former Nigeria international  dedicated the glory to the State Government following their triumph at the National Sports Festival in Asaba.

Team Imo women’s football team earned a narrow 1-0 win over Team Lagos to claim the gold medal at the ongoing National Sports Festival in Asaba, Delta State on Wednesday and Madu has credited the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, for the team’s success in the tournament.

“I am a happy man today, for a team to beat Lagos and Delta (in the final and semifinal respectively) the host team, it’s not an easy one and with this now, people will know that Imo have a team,” Madu said.

“The magic behind the success is our state Governor. He motivated us very well, so after God, the praise should go to the government of Imo State for bringing us here to participate in this event.”

He stated that the Imo team will now prepare for another festival and also try and incorporate some members of the team into the state club team to play professional football.

“This is a state festival team, so we will continue to prepare another team for the next festival because this may not be the team to go for the 2024 edition,” he continued.

“We have our state team in the Nigerian Women’s Football League, Heartland Queens. I will ask the management of the team to look at this squad and pick those that have the quality to play for them, instead of them going to another club from other states.”
