Martins, Osimhen Support SBJ Oshoffa @40 Football Tournament

Lagos, Nigeria — In celebration of the 40th remembrance of Rev. Samuel Bilewu Joseph Oshoffa, founder of the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC), a grand football tournament is set to take place in Lagos with support from two of Nigeria’s top football stars — Obafemi Martins and Victor Osimhen.

The event, titled “SBJ Oshoffa @40 Remembrance Football Tournament,” will kick off on July 26, 2025, at two major venues: Abalti Barracks Stadium, Tejuosho, and Ikeja Cantonment Football Field. It is being powered by CCC Lagos State Parishes in partnership with the ICC Worldwide Sports Tournament.

Obafemi Martins, famously known as Obagol, and Victor Osimhen, currently one of Nigeria’s brightest football exports, have publicly endorsed the tournament. Both players are not just skilled athletes but also strong advocates for grassroots development. Their support brings both credibility and excitement to the tournament, especially for the younger generation who look up to them as role models.

The football tournament is more than a sporting event. It serves as a platform to promote youth engagement, community unity, and spiritual reflection in honor of Rev. SBJ Oshoffa’s enduring legacy. Through the tournament, CCC aims to connect faith, talent, and community spirit in a positive and impactful way.

Organizers say the tournament will feature various youth teams from across Lagos and beyond, offering them the chance to showcase their skills in a competitive but friendly atmosphere. It also provides an opportunity to spot emerging talents and reinforce the Church’s ongoing commitment to youth development.

Football fans, Celestial members, and the general public are invited to attend and support the event. With high expectations, energetic crowds, and notable personalities involved, the SBJ Oshoffa @40 tournament promises to be one of the most memorable sporting events of the year within the Celestial fold.

For those passionate about sports, youth progress, and faith-based initiatives, this is one event not to miss.
