After six successful editions, Adron Homes & Properties continues to play a pivotal role in the development of sports and talent discovery in Nigeria through its annual sporting event, the Adron Games. What began as a corporate wellness initiative has now grown into one of the nation’s premier platforms for identifying and nurturing young talents, while promoting physical fitness and community engagement.
The 2024 edition, themed "Fit to Be the Biggest", marks the 7th consecutive year of Adron Games, further cementing the company’s commitment to the sponsorship of grassroots sports. With each edition, Adron Homes not only creates a space for corporate teams and individuals to compete but also paves the way for the next generation of athletes to shine on a national stage.
This year's event, set to take place at the Lekan
Salami Stadium, Ibadan from November 29th to 30th, brings even
more opportunities for young athletes to showcase their abilities across a wide
variety of sporting disciplines, including Football, Basketball,
Volleyball, Athletics, Table Tennis, Snooker, Shot Put, Long Jump, E-sports,
and Tug of War. With two Nigeria’s Ex International, Daniel Amokachi
and Mutiu Adepoju both legendary figures in Nigerian football serving as
ambassadors, the games underscore the crucial role of sports in shaping lives
and fostering unity.
Daniel Amokachi, while
addressing the media at the event’s unveiling, emphasized the need for
consistent support from businesses and brands to nurture talent in Nigeria.
"Sports in Nigeria need more support from businesses and brands to help
discover and nurture young talent. Through initiatives like the Adron Games,
we’re able to uncover the next generation of stars while also promoting a
healthy lifestyle," said Amokachi.
In line with Adron Homes' strategic
goals, Emmanuel Oladapo, Director of Sport Adron Homes and
the Organising Department, shed light on the innovative developments and
strategies being brought to this year’s games. During his speech, Oladapo emphasized
the importance of preparation and structure in making this year’s Adron
Games the most successful yet.
“We’re focused on ensuring that every aspect of this year’s
games is elevated. From athlete development to team preparation, my team and I
are introducing new strategies that will provide a more competitive and
organized experience for all participants. We want to make sure the games grow
bigger each year while also ensuring that they remain an important platform for
talent discovery,” Oladapo stated.
He further highlighted a series of pre-event activities
leading up to November, which have been designed to ensure that teams are fully
prepared for the competition. These preparatory events, which include team
training sessions, practice tournaments, and fitness camps, will help refine
skills and foster teamwork among the athletes. "We want the teams to have
ample opportunity to train, strategize, and perfect their game before the main
event in November," Oladapo explained.
As part of the unveiling, Oladapo also
showcased the official team jerseys, which were presented to the respective
teams. The jerseys, designed to promote team spirit and a sense of unity,
reflect the vibrant and competitive nature of Adron Games.
"These jerseys represent more than just clothing; they symbolize the hard
work, dedication, and passion that each team will bring to the field. We’re
proud to have created a look that inspires pride and excellence," he
added.
By investing in sports sponsorship, Adron Homes not
only encourages a culture of fitness and wellness but also contributes to the
larger goal of empowering youth and developing Nigeria’s sports industry. The
company’s Group Managing Director, Aare Adetola Emmanuelking,
has been at the forefront of these efforts, recognizing the transformative
power of sports as a tool for positive change.
Mutiu Adepoju,
speaking at the media briefing, echoed this sentiment, stressing the unifying
power of sports and commending Adron Homes for their
ongoing dedication to its promotion. “Sports is not only about fitness but also
about unity and creating opportunities for the youth. Adron Homes’
commitment to this cause is invaluable in the continued development of sports
in Nigeria,” Adepoju remarked.
As Adron Games 2024 approaches, the
spotlight is once again on sports as a catalyst for talent discovery and
community development, with Adron Homes & Properties leading the charge.
