In the female category, Wazbak Queens continued their dominance, defeating Unification Ladies 1–0 to retain their crown and make history as the first female team to win the Cohesion Football Tournament back-to-back. Champions of the Under-13 male category, O&A Sports Academy, were awarded a ₦100,000 grant prize. In the female category, champions Wazbak Queens also walked away with ₦500,000, while finalists Unification Ladies received ₦250,000. Cohesion Football Tournament is giving young people like us a real chance, and I applaud the organisers of this grassroots engagement for the community,” said Emmanuella while speaking at the competition. Since its inaugural edition in December 2019 with just 12 teams from Mushin and Surulere, the Cohesion Football Tournament has grown steadily in scale and impact.
