The Anambra State Football Association will stage a novelty match on August 1 to honour the memory of its former chairman, the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, as part of activities marking the second anniversary of his death.
According to the chairman of the ANSFA Media Committee, Ralph George, the memorial fixture will be played at the FC Ifeanyi Ubah Stadium along Ozubulu Road in Nnewi.
Ubah, fondly known as Ebubechukwu Uzo, served as Chairman of the Anambra State Football Association between 2016 and 2020, a period widely regarded as transformative for football in the state.
During his tenure, he introduced the One Family, One Footballer initiative, a grassroots development programme launched in both Nigeria and Russia during the 2018 World Cup in the presence of FIFA President, Gianni Infantino. The initiative was aimed at identifying and nurturing young football talents across Anambra State.
