Kwara United Football Club's Head Coach, Abdullahi Biffo, has donated a giant trophy for the 2022 edition of the Emir's Cup.
Biffo told the News Agency of Nigeria in Ilorin on Tuesday that the gesture was to facilitate the hosting of the Emir of Ilorin football tournament.
” This tournament was held last about 25 years ago. We are all doing our parts to revive it.
