Hosts Bodija International Schools (BIS) alongside three others are through to the semifinal of the maiden edition of Kayode Eso football tournament sponsored by the management of the school.

The other schools in the last four are International School Ibadan (ISI), King’s College and Lead City. BSI defeated Ever Flourish School 1-0 while ISI beat City of Faith School 2-1 in other quarterfinal stage tussles.

Lead City High School thrashed Fontana International School 3-1 and King’s College beat All Souls School 2-1 in the last game of the day. The last four outings are scheduled for today between ISI and Lead City while King’s College will slog it out with BIS in the second semifinal.

Speaking after the match, Director of Schools, Bodija International School, Mr Olumide Eso, said he’s happy with the turnout of spectators, as he applauded the participating schools for showing their potential on the field of play.

He said they hosted the competition to honor the late Mr Kayode Eso for his involvement in sports during his lifetime.

According to Olumide Eso, son of the deceased, “At our college it was a good thing to honor the late Kayode Eso, we also have been involved in soccer and football in our school BIS.

“The reason is that we want to discover soccer talents and at the same time to keep them meaningful occupied, focused and disciplined. That is why we chose soccer and any kind of tournament at this point of time,” he said.

“Also, as talent discovery is part of extracurricular activities, what we do here is to bring out talent and passion from students. We are very passionate about this. We want to bring out the best from every single individual that is why we allowed a lot of free hand to partake in this.

“Apart from these that we are doing here, we also have academics, we write books, we write literature and we are very much involved in athletics, particularly in relay races.”
