The Ayomidiran Foundation, under the leadership of Honourable Ayo Omidiran, has appointed four prominent women as ambassadors for its “Girls Play Sports” initiative, aimed at inspiring young girls to excel in sports.

The initiative has brought together Ayisat Yusuf, a former Super Falcons player and current sponsor of Ayisat Yusuf Football Club; Mary Onyali, a celebrated silver-winning Olympic sprinter; Onome Ebi, who represented Nigeria in five FIFA Women’s World Cups and captained the Super Falcons in several international competitions; and Olufunke Oshonaike, a six-time Olympic table tennis player who has won numerous medals for Nigeria. These accomplished athletes, known for their dedication and excellence, are role models for girls across Nigeria.

The grand finale of the inaugural Girls Play Sports football tournament will take place in Abuja on September 29, 2024, where the ambassadors will participate in celebrating female athletic achievements and encouraging more girls to embrace sports.

The foundation also plans to expand the initiative to include sports like table tennis, basketball, and athletics in the future.

“We are honored to have these sports legends on board,” said Honourable Ayo Omidiran. “Their success and passion for sports will inspire a new generation of female athletes, promoting empowerment through sports.”
