This was revealed in his speech to the delegation of the Lagos Street Soccer committee led by Mr. Bolaji Yusuf during an official visit to his office.
Hon. Ayoola affirmed the readiness of Ajeromi-Ifelodun to host the Street Soccer games with the quality of upgraded sporting facilities available within his LGA.
While declaring expressions of interest to bid for the hosting rights of the championship, Ayoola stated that there are sporting facilities across the LGA structured for grassroots football competitions which he believes would land his LGA the hosting rights after inspection by the Lagos Street Soccer committee.
“We are ready to partner with the Lagos Street Soccer in our quest to win the hosting rights for the championship. We have sporting facilities in Oriola, Orege, and Maracana stadiums which we’re proposing to host games during the tournament.
“Ajeromi-Ifelodun is a pacesetter in sports and a hub of musical entertainment. The mission intent is to continually expose these talented young players to different competitions and provide upgraded facilities, which recently hosted over 4,000 participants in football competitions, to keep them ahead of their contemporaries.
The Lagos Street Soccer delegation was subsequently taken on a tour of facility inspection within Ajeromi-Ifelodun LGA with Hon. Ayoola, personally leading the inspection delegation.
