The stage is set for an exciting celebration of young athletic talent as the RiseVest SuperBall Youth League prepares for its grand finale. The event will take place at the iconic National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos, on December 18 and 19, 2025.
A Festival of Sport and Culture
Following successful qualifying rounds held in August, the two-day finale promises more than just competition. It is designed as a holistic festive experience for families and communities across Lagos. Attendees can look forward to intense matches in futsal, basketball, and volleyball. Beyond the courts, the event will feature live music performances, a variety of food vendors, lifestyle activations, and other holiday-season attractions.
The inclusion of futsal as a core discipline is a strategic move aimed at honing the technical skills, creativity, and rapid decision-making abilities of young players. This focus is part of a broader vision to rebuild Nigeria's competitive edge in global sports.
Investing in the Next Generation

Eugene Uzor, CEO of CourtVision, highlighted the league's role in personal development. "We are building structured environments where young Nigerians can refine their abilities, express themselves, and grow," he said. "This initiative bridges the gap between competitive sports and the contemporary Nigerian lifestyle, all while cultivating the next wave of homegrown excellence."
