FUTA sports facilities thrill MISTON LOC, players about 9 hours ago Tweet PLAYERS and organisers of the Mimiko International Soccer Tournament were left in awe of the facilities they saw at the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) and the disposition of the staff and students of the institution, which has hosted some of the matches of the competition. The officials and teams described the well-groomed field and the state-of-the-art tartan tracks as excellent, saying the pitch brought out the best in them, just as they commended staff and students of the school for trooping out en masse to watch all the matches. The Vice-Chairman of MISTON LOC, Akin Akinbobola, who described the staff and students of the school as the best supporters and spectators during the tournament, said during the group matches and quarterfinal games held at the FUTA Sports Centre that the school’s sports centre had the capacity to host major events. FUTA Sports Centre hosted Group B games and the quarterfinal matches of the tournament with Young Stars FC of Akure, Prestige Height International FC of Ghana, Yobo Football Academy of Lagos and Vocam Revival Academy, Makurdi playing before an enthusiastic crowd of students and staff. The Co-ordinator of the Centre, who is also the Acting Director of Sports, FUTA, Coach Alayode Ajibua, also commended the organisers for a job well done. This is not the first time that FUTA would be hosting an international competition. In 2010 the institution hosted the second edition of the West African University Games, where students from tertiary institutions from across the West African sub- region competed for honours in Table Tennis, Athletics and Lawn Tennis.
