In a heartwarming celebration of Children’s Day, the Jenny Uzo Foundation brought smiles and excitement to young football enthusiasts by organizing a friendly football match with Under-13 football academies in Imo State.

The event, held at the Bashlykes sports center (Hereos apartment) New Owerri, brought together several youth teams from the region, offering the children a chance to showcase their talent, build friendships, and enjoy the spirit of sportsmanship. With cheers from supporters and family members, the young players displayed impressive skill and passion for the game.

Speaking at the event, a representative of the Jenny Uzo Foundation expressed joy at the turnout and emphasized the importance of supporting children’s growth through sports. “This match is more than just a game — it’s about giving children a platform to express themselves, stay active, and feel celebrated. We’re proud to be part of their journey.”

The foundation, known for its community outreach and youth development programs, also used the opportunity to encourage values of teamwork, discipline, and self-confidence among the participants.

Parents and community leaders in attendance applauded the initiative, noting the positive impact such events have on the children’s morale and community bonding.

The Jenny Uzo Foundation plans to continue supporting youth-focused events and looks forward to making next year’s Children’s Day celebration even more memorable.
