The opening ceremony, held on April 15, 2024, at the Kabala Town Playing Field, was graced by Northeast Regional Chairman, Comrade Alie Commoner Kargbo, alongside Koinadugu District Council Chairman, Lawrence Teteh Kargbo.
The inaugural match featured Semgbeh Chiefdom from Koinadugu district against Baowayei Chiefdom from Falaba district.
The tournament boasts a star prize of Twenty Million Old Leones (Le 20,000,000) alongside various consolation prizes.
Dr. Kaifala Marrah, the primary sponsor, provided vests for all participating communities and distributed cooking foodstuffs to each team to ensure adequate preparation ahead of every match.
