The second edition of Tytanic Super Cup will undergo an improved variety of rewards, as revealed by the organizer, Olojede Oluwadolapo popularly known as Tytan, to Campus Mirror on Sunday.
Tytan, while speaking in an interview with Campus Mirror, stated that there will be an increase in monetary gain and other prizes to be received by winners of the competition, first and second runners-up.
“First edition, the winner got N50,000 cash prize, with a jersey, while the first runner-up got N30,000 with a full team bib, and the second runner-up got N15,000, also with a bib.
"This second edition, the winner will get the sum of N75,000 with a full team jersey, while the first runner-up will also get the sum of N50,000 with a full team jersey and the second runner-up with an increased prize as well,” he said.
Meanwhile, Tytan also communicated the readiness for the start of the competition as he assures that all things are in place already to get things up and running.
“We are prepared; we've gotten what is needed before kick-off, we've gotten footballs, the officials' jersey, and the likes. Tomorrow morning I'll get the medical kits. Preparations have been good so far, and we're going to kick off on smooth ground tomorrow so we're well prepared,” he added.
He didn't fail to make clear his intentions that led to the creation of the competition. He attributed the birth of the idea to a quest to create something new, as opposed to competitions being recycled yearly.
“I had an idea of bringing a new competition, because year-in year-out, we just play the same competitions. So, I wanted improvement on how we play this cup. I wanted it to be more competitive; first, second, and third teams from different faculties' dean's cup will qualify for the Super Cup. Just for the love of sports and to make it more competitive,” he said.
The format of the competition remains unchanged as 18 teams will battle it out in a round-of-16 format, with no group stage, just like the previous edition.
