talked about the essence of the football match which was to create
awareness for prostate cancer amongst men and the threat prostate cancer
poses to families in Nigeria. She also emphasised that early detection
is key so all men from the age of 40 should get checked regularly.

competition was between Atletico Sports Club, Soccer Nation, FSG and
