Organisers of the Gold Cup Pre-season Tourney have disassociated themselves from Ekiti United Football Club.

Rumours in Ado Ekiti informed of the club been part of the teams that will participate in the tourney, which is not true.

General Coordinator of Gold Cup, Tunde Shamsudeen told National Daily that “I want to state clearly that there’s no iota of truth in the rumour making the rounds that Ekiti United is among the 10 teams that are taking part in this tourney.

“Standard practice, has it that they be sent a letter of invitation or participation from us, the organisers or them doing same.

“As far as I know, the fixtures have been made and communicated to the participating teams, so I wonder all of these rumours on Ekiti United.

The best organised pre-season mini league will kick off on Thursday November 15, and end on Saturday November 24.

The Gold Cup Pre-season Tournament is sponsored by distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic, Dr. Buhari Abdul-Fatai (BAF), and proudly supported by Nigeria Football Federation Executive Committee Member, Alhaji Ahmed Yusuf Fresh, foremost betting company, Bet9ja, Nigeria leading sportswear firm, ‘Owu’, Play Sportswear, Ekiti State Football Association, Seyi Akinwunmi Charity Foundation, Sportspro, New-Bell Global Investment, 11th Media Global Concept, Phreestyle Sports and Vomoz Mobile.
