On Monday, July 2nd, the University of Ibadan Sports Council convened to finalize the arrangements for the long-awaited InterHall tournament.
The tournament had experienced several delays due to the demanding nature of the semester, as well as the Student Union elections that followed. Additionally, financial constraints had contributed to the postponement of the tournament, as conveyed by the Students’ Union Sports Secretary, Olawale Joshua.
During the meeting, football fixtures were determined, and it was revealed that Zik Hall, the defending champions, would face ABH in the opening match. The excitement will kick off with the opening ceremony scheduled for July 12th at 3:00pm.
The Nnamdi Azikiwe Hall Sports Minister, Jamiu Kareem, revealed the complete fixtures for the tournament, which are as follows:
Day 1
Zik Hall vs ABH
Bello Hall vs Kuti Hall
Day 2
Mellanby Hall vs Indy Hall
Tedder Hall vs Abdul Salam Hall
The interHall had already been scheduled to start on the 5th of July, but had been postponed till next week as a result of the need to reach out to both the Vice Chancellor who would be present at the official kick off of the tournament and other important principals of the university. In addition to that is the need to get officials for the games, as Jamiu Kareem had clarified.
