He commended the teams for their discipline and dedication and described the league as a positive step towards repositioning football in the FCT.


“We are impressed with the level of organisation and participation so far. The league has been very competitive, and it shows we’re on the right path,” Mouktar said.


He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to nurturing grassroots talents, strengthening local clubs, and building a sustainable football ecosystem that provides opportunities for young players to grow and thrive.


“Football is a powerful tool for youth engagement, unity, and economic empowerment. Here in the FCT, we are determined to harness those potentials by investing in grassroots football, improving the quality of our local competitions, and supporting our clubs and academies,” he added.


Mouktar also called on stakeholders, including the private sector, to continue supporting the FCT FA’s vision of transforming Abuja into a model for football development in Nigeria.
