The 2016 edition of Copa Coca-Cola is on!!! This year, over 3000 U-15 School Teams will be participating in the game nationwide. Its exciting and we can't wait to have our national winner.

With registration for 2016 Copa Coca-Cola over, we can confidently confirm to you that over 3000 schools across 32 states of the federation have successfully entered for the competition and are ready for a showdown on the pitch of play, as the tournament kicked off with the preliminaries on the 16th of May.

While defending champions in the 10 states remain optimistic that they will retain the title once more, the competition this year is much tougher as it now peaks at the National level. The number of schools in the race for the cup this year has also significantly increased from 144 last year to over 3,000.
