His participation drew cheers from the crowd and highlighted his enduring passion for grassroots sports development. Speaking after the match, the NSC boss applauded SWAN for its commitment to elevating sports discourse through professional and impactful reporting.


“I had fun,” Olopade said. “This was the most exciting novelty match I’ve attended. I saw real unity and passion among the journalists. Sports is life, and it deserves the spotlight in our media spaces.” He emphasized the critical role sports journalism plays in promoting national unity and development, urging media outlets to give sports the visibility it deserves in mainstream news coverage.


In a show of appreciation and encouragement, Olopade announced ₦2 million in incentives for the two participating teams and handed out dollar rewards to standout performers, including the best goalkeeper of the match. The atmosphere remained festive long after the final whistle, with laughter, camaraderie, and sportsmanship defining the day making it a memorable highlight of the Gateway Games.
