The much awaited season 2 of the Remita Corporate Champions Cup 2015 is here!There will be a Press Conference to officially start the Remita Corporate Champions Cup 2015 on Wednesday 6th May, 2015 at the Office of the Sponsors, SystemSpecs at Obalende by 2pm.
The draws for the event will also hold during the press conference, representatives of the participating teams are expected to attend.
The teams that will vie for Corporate Nigeria’s Biggest Trophy are:
UBA – The reigning Nigeria Bankers Games football Champions will make their debut in the competition. However, with their strong football pedigree and consistency, UBA despite been debutants are favourites to go all the way.
ECOBANK – Ecobank are coming off of a massively improved 2014 Nigeria Bankers Games season that saw them win bronze medal. They are coming into the Remita Corporate Champions Cup as a replacement for Skye Bank. They are also debutants but will pose a serious threat to any team any day.
ETISALAT – They are arguably the most consistent corporate team in Nigeria. A back to back Nigeria Telecoms Games Championship and a runners up at the last Remita tournament attest to that. However, the question that has to be answered this season is – will they be good enough to emerge the Champion of Champions?
MTN – The yellow boys of MTN are two times Champions of the Nigeria Telecoms Games. Although they had a rough season in 2014, they will be looking to bounce back in the Remita Corporate Champions Cup. The RC3 represents an opportunity to MTN to get back to winning ways again.
UNILEVER – The defending FMCG Champions will be making their first appearance in the RC3. They beat ball odds last season to emerge victorious in the 2014 FMCG Games, with a youthful and energetic team, they will be eying the trophy for themselves.
NESTLE – They will be making their second appearance in the RC3, they fell at the quarterfinal stage last season. The Milo boys can take confidence from their display last time and hope to improve and go one better. They are a team to watch out for.
LEADWAY ASSURANCE – They are the Nigeria Insurance Games defending Champion and are making their second appearance in RC3. The 2 time Insurance Champions have a penchant for been difficult to beat, should they solve their goalscoring problems, they could go all the way. Another team to watch out for.
SWIPHA – They are an unknown quantity. They have only featured in the Corporate Nigeria Games in a novelty match against First Bank, they drew 1 all. They represent the x factor at this season’s RC3. What will they come up with?
The schedule for RC3 is thus…..
