After beating all comers to the maiden Ogunnusi Cup at the Agege Stadium on Wednesday, 1 May, the team, tutored by Tunde Oyebande, were at Dele Arojo Memorial Cup where they also won the grassroots football championship tagged Ipokia L.G.A. Cup.
Wusu FC beat Ijofin 5-4 through penalty after they played barren draw in the regulation time. The team had contested the tournament with other 11 wards in Ipokia local council. The competition, which kicked off on 17 April, was sponsored by Mrs. Ayodele Adeshina Orojo in memory of her late husband, Dele Orojo.
Apart from the prize money of N100, 000, which the winners won, scholarships to higher institutions were given to Wusu players such as Gbemi Emmanuel, Seun Ogunribide, David Kareem, Jamiu Bakare and Vincent Akharele.
Coach Oyebande described the latest feat of his team as an act of God, adding that the unity within the team and the support they received from the management of the club have been sources of motivation and inspiration that led to the victories which came their way in May.
He noted that more success would still come the way of Wusu FC as they lined up series of competitions which they would play as the year progresses.
