The 2026 Students’ Union Government (SUG) Games of Olabisi Onabanjo University opened yesterday with a 1–1 draw between the Faculties of Education and Arts, while the Faculty of Science secured a narrow 1–0 victory over the Faculty of Administration and Management Sciences.
The two fixtures marked the opening day of the inter-faculty sporting competition, which commenced with an opening ceremony themed “Legacy: Legends Aren’t Born, They’re Remembered.”
In the first encounter, Education and Arts settled for a share of the points after both sides found the back of the net. Science, however, emerged victorious in the second fixture, securing all three points against Administration and Management Sciences with a lone goal.
The opening matches set the tone for the competition, as faculties began their campaigns for sporting honours and the opportunity to represent their respective faculties on the field.
The SUG Games bring together students from different faculties to compete in sporting events, providing a platform for athletic talent, faculty representation and student engagement.
More fixtures are expected as the competition progresses.
