The Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (AAUA) class of 2022 championship is set to conclude with the finals between the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Sociology.
The football competition, consisting of a group of 22 participants, is scheduled to occur at the university's sports complex on Sunday at 4 PM. This competition, which started on January 16, 2025, includes sixteen (16) teams from across the school.
In an interview with Echo Media, Adebiyi Adegboyega, the coach for the Computer Science 300-level team, stated that the path to the final has been challenging. He noted that the team has played three matches to date, recording one loss.
“There are honorable mentions to be sincere, the run to the final was not an easy one, I would like to say all our matches were tough, the match against Criminology gave us a hard time, but at the same, if I should consider that in this run we have only suffered a loss against mass communication, then I think it's just honorable to say that was the toughest, respect to all our opponents by the way”.
In discussing preparations for the final against their opponent, Adegboyega stated that the team's preparation and confidence in winning the championship "is the same as previous matches: train, train, pray”.
“All my players are in form and out of form. We are as confident as our opponents for the final are; I guess no one will get to the final and then lose confidence; we are all going for the win”.
However, he acknowledged God as the easy maker of their road to the finals. "Let me just add that the journey to the final has been God and teamwork. Everyone has contributed to this moment in the possible way we all can, and we just hope and pray that spirit keeps us on that final.”
Ayokunle Akinyemi, the 300-level Sociology coach, evaluates his team's performance, noting that they have achieved strong results in the competition thus far.
"The Sociology department was the best team so far in the competition, so making it to the finals is a history to our team," he added.
In evaluating the team's performance, he noted that the match against Physics and Electronics presented significant challenges for the Sociologist.
Ayokunle confirmed that the team is adequately prepared and ready for the upcoming final, as several players who had previously sustained minor injuries have now returned to full availability for the upcoming match.
