The Omeluora of Ukwu- Nzu Kingdom in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, Chief (Dr ) Abraham Chukwuka (also known as  Dr. AB )  last Thursday , organized a reception to honour players  of Aliren Football Club , winners of the 2024  edition of  Alisimie Unity Football  Championship.

The event, which was held at Aliren Community Hall in Alisimie -Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State, attracted football enthusiasts from the immediate community and its environs.

According to the organiser, Dr. AB, the event was to support and celebrate the  players for their  efforts in emerging the  champion of the community soccer tournament.

The Omeluora of Ukwu- Nzu said that  the victory of the team in the just concluded community Soccer fiesta  called for celebration, as the team's performance was highly remarkable as they  remained unbeaten throughout the tournament.

He said that despite the fact that he had made numerous  other contributions to the success of the team during this year's edition of the community soccer championship, the reception  party and the sum of N300, 000 donation  he made to the  team for the  victory was to motivate the players to improve in subsequent editions of the annual soccer tournament in the community.

While thanking Chief Abraham Chukwuka for his  contributions to the team' s success in the soccer championship ,  the Captain of the team, Mr Kelvin Onyeisi Chukwuka, recalled that Chief  Omeluora  had played a significant role in the team' s success during the community football challenge.

He emphasized that  Chief Chukwuka did not only give the  players adequate personal motivation to emerge victorious, but also collaborated with other indigenes to promote the team spirit of the  players in every area necessary.

.

The captain used the opportunity to call on other  indigenes of Aliren Community  at home and in the diaspora to emulate the kind gesture of Dr. Abraham Chukwuka  for the growth and development of the  community in sports and other social cultural activities.

The final  match, which was between the defending Champions, Aliogor Community Football Club, and Aliren Football Club( also called Team Aliren) ,ended goalless in the first half of the encounter despite the intense pressure and great ball possession by the Aliogor Players .

The second half of the game was more exciting as Team Aliren was not only able to absorb the  pressure  mounted by their opponents, but  kept forcefully striking from the  middle of the center circle ,  consistently launching aggressive  volley shots into their opponents' vital six yard box.

Fortunately for  Aliren FC, one the shots fired on target  by Alionye Samuel Nmordi grazed the right pole of the opponents' goal post, ricochetted before gliding into the net, to help them  secure a lone goal victory.

The team was rewarded with a trophy and  N600, 000 as the tournament's star prize, while Dr. Abraham  Chukwuka,  the Omeluora of Ukwu- Nzu Kingdom, was  later appointed as the Grand Patron of the team by the Elders of Aliren Community.
