"We are here again for the season three of the Remmy Uche Soccer Challenge and we are better prepared for the task ahead as we have an eye on the trophy and the prize money made available by the sponsor. Last year, we came close to winning it but we were unlucky having lost out via penalty shootouts to eventual champions De Godz FC.

"Recall that we learnt from that set back and responded well by winning the 2023 Anambra Federation Cup. We want to win the trophy this year to prove that getting to the finals was not by stroke of luck but to show that Ozalla FC has the Champions spirit and a team to reckon with when you talk about club football in Anambra State," Osueke said.
