The African Action Congress (AAC) Anambra Chapter has officially launched the Anambra Unity Football Tournament, a grassroots initiative aimed at fostering youth empowerment, cultural pride, and community development across the state’s 21 local government areas.
The tournament, spearheaded by the campaign team of Chioma Ifemeludike, the AAC Governorship Candidate for the 2025 elections, is part of the party’s broader vision to place young people at the center of Anambra’s political and developmental agenda.
According to a statement released by Ifemeludike’s campaign team, the tournament is designed not only as a football competition but also as a cultural and creative platform that will engage Anambra’s youth population and highlight their often-overlooked talents.
“This is more than just a tournament—it’s a movement. We are creating a space where young people can thrive, be seen, and be heard,” the statement reads.
In addition to football, the initiative will feature a talent showcase for young creatives, including artists, musicians, and actors.
The goal, the campaign notes, is to uncover raw, homegrown talent and offer them support and visibility in a system that often sidelines youth creativity.
“We are committed to building a new Anambra—one that puts people over profit and youth over empty promises,” the campaign emphasized.
The AAC Anambra Chapter has called on media houses, youth-focused organizations, cultural stakeholders, and members of the public to support and amplify the tournament, which it describes as a bold step toward inclusive governance and social transformation.
