Kangiwa United have emerged winners of the just concluded maiden edition of the Dan’Arewa Peace and Unity Cup after a hard-fought victory over Eleven Shooting FC.
The finals decided at the Umar Faruq Township Stadium in Daura was stalemated and in the resultant penalty shoot-out, Dangiwa United kept their nerves to triumph 6-5.
At the end of the well-attended finals, the overall winners took home a giant trophy, gold medals and N300,000 cash prize while the runners-up received silver medals and N100,000 as a consolation prize.
The Chairman of Katsina FA and member representing Dutsin-ma/Kurfi Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Balele Kurfi, expressed satisfaction with the performance of the teams that featured in the grassroots football tournament.

He also commended the organisers for offering the youths a veritable platform to showcase their talents in football.
According to the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain and business mogul, apart from helping to discover hidden talents, such competitions help to positively engage the youths who would have become willing tools in the hands of unscrupulous individuals.
Kurdi, therefore, urged the organisers to keep up the good work and not rest on their oars.
Apart from Hon. Aminu Balele Kurfi, the newly appointed Katsina United Chairman, Surajo Baba Malumfashi, Dan Buran Daura, Daha Umar Faruq, Chairman Organising Committee, Sani Abu Dauda, Kurfi Local Government Chairman, Mannir Shehu Wurma and a host of other football stakeholders in the state and beyond attended the finals in Daura.
