Game-Changer! Igbajo United Teams Up with Grandlotto in a Landmark Sponsorship Deal



In an exciting development for Nigeria football, Igbajo United Football Club has announced Grandlotto as the official shirt sleeve sponsor for the 2024/2025 Nigeria National League (NNL) season. Grandlotto, Nigeria’s premier lotto brand, has partnered with Igbajo United in a sponsorship deal that brings visibility and resources to the community-focused club. This collaboration represents a significant endorsement of local football and emphasizes the importance of supporting regional talent in Nigeria.

The partnership between Igbajo United and Grandlotto is a strategic one, uniting two organizations that share core values of community development, teamwork, and excellence. Architect Dayo Adegbite, Chairman of Igbajo United, expressed his gratitude and enthusiasm for the collaboration, noting how Grandlotto's involvement would positively impact the club's initiatives and broader community programs. The support from Lotgrand Limited, Grandlotto’s parent company, underscores their commitment to contributing meaningfully to the growth of Nigerian football at the grassroots level.

Adegbite described the sponsorship as more than just a commercial arrangement, emphasizing that it is a partnership rooted in mutual goals and a shared vision for community development. “We’re proud to continue our association with Grandlotto,” Adegbite stated, adding that the sponsorship would play a crucial role in helping Igbajo United achieve its ambitions on and off the pitch. With Grandlotto's support, Igbajo United plans to strengthen its outreach programs, develop local talent, and continue fostering a sense of unity and pride within its community.

Echoing this sentiment, Mr. Niyi Adekunle, CEO of Lotgrand Limited, highlighted the deeper values underlying the sponsorship. He noted that this partnership is not just about financial support but about celebrating the spirit of community and empowering local talent. "We’re excited to support Igbajo United, contributing to Nigerian football’s growth," Adekunle said. He pointed out the alignment of their shared values and colors—yellow and green—which symbolizes the natural synergy between the two organizations.

As part of this collaboration, Grandlotto aims to play a supportive role in Igbajo United's journey towards becoming a recognized force in Nigerian football. "As Igbajo United Football Club heads for greatness in 2024, Grandlotto is proud to stand alongside them, supporting their journey and contributing to the vibrant spirit of the team," Adekunle concluded. His statement reflects Grandlotto's commitment to fostering a positive and vibrant environment for grassroots sports, which they see as foundational to the future of Nigerian football.

Igbajo United is unique in its structure, boasting four distinct teams: Igbajo United, Igbajo United Ladies, Igbajo United Feeders, and Igbajo United Kindergarten. This makes it Nigeria’s largest community-based football club, catering to players of various age groups and skill levels. The club's inclusive approach ensures that young talent can be nurtured from a young age, with pathways leading up to the senior team, creating a pipeline of skilled players for the future.

The senior team will compete in the Nigeria National League (NNL) in the 2024/25 season, aiming to build on past successes and climb the ranks of Nigerian football. Meanwhile, Igbajo United Ladies have already made waves, having recently clinched the Osun Women’s Football League title. This victory is a testament to the club's dedication to excellence and its commitment to promoting women’s football as well.

With Grandlotto's support, Igbajo United can look forward to expanded resources that will enhance player development, community programs, and overall performance. The sponsorship also brings greater visibility to the club, helping attract more fans and support within the local community. As a result, Igbajo United hopes to inspire young athletes and demonstrate the value of perseverance and community pride.

The collaboration between Igbajo United and Grandlotto also sets a strong example for other local clubs, showing how strategic partnerships can elevate grassroots sports. The partnership not only celebrates Nigerian football but also strengthens the foundation of community engagement and growth that is vital for long-term success in sports. Both organizations are united in their mission to promote positive values and to create opportunities for young Nigerians through football.

As Igbajo United embarks on the new NNL season, fans and community members alike are eager to see the impact of this partnership on the team’s journey. The club is optimistic about the road ahead and aims to continue its upward trajectory, fueled by the backing of Grandlotto and the unyielding support of its community.
