Alansmith Reactivates Partnership With Gold Cup Tournament
Alansmith Nigeria Limited has reaffirmed its partnership with the 14th edition of the Ogunjobi Gold Cup pre-season tournament, scheduled to hold from August 13 to August 22, 2026, at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The renewed partnership further demonstrates Alansmith Nigeria Limited’s commitment to supporting the growth of football and sports infrastructure in Nigeria through the provision of international-standard playing surfaces, sports facilities and technical expertise.
As a FIFA- and CAF-certified indigenous sports infrastructure company, Alansmith will provide technical and strategic support to the 10-day tournament, reinforcing its role not only as a partner of the Gold Cup but as a key contributor to the development of quality football facilities across Nigeria.
Speaking with the tournament’s Media Channel, the Chief Executive Officer of Alansmith Nigeria Limited, Joshua Adamu, expressed the company’s excitement about renewing its relationship with the competition.
“We are excited to reaffirm our partnership with the Gold Cup, one of Nigeria’s prestigious pre-season tournaments featuring clubs from the NPFL, NNL and NLO.
“Our involvement goes beyond supporting the tournament. At Alansmith, we are passionate about the development of football in Nigeria and believe that quality football requires quality infrastructure. We are committed to providing international-standard turf, pitches and sports facilities that enable players and clubs to perform at their best.”
Adamu noted that Alansmith’s growing portfolio of football infrastructure projects reflects the company’s broader commitment to strengthening the foundation of Nigerian football.
“We are currently working on projects including the Grassrunners FC Stadium in Sagamu, NaRoyal FC Stadium in Ilemonan, and the Fima FC pitch in Epe, all of which are at various stages of development.
“Alansmith is installing on these pitches meets international standards. We are focused on delivering durable, high-quality playing surfaces and sports infrastructure within record time, ensuring that these facilities are ready for use and capable of serving clubs and communities for years to come.”
The renewed Gold Cup partnership is therefore part of a larger vision by Alansmith Nigeria Limited to support football development beyond the competition itself by contributing to the availability of world-class playing surfaces and modern sports infrastructure across the country.
Through its work with professional clubs, football academies, sports organisations and tournament organisers, Alansmith continues to position itself as a trusted indigenous partner in Nigeria’s sports infrastructure ecosystem.
The company’s partnership with the Ogunjobi Gold Cup also reinforces its belief that the future of Nigerian football depends not only on talented players and well-run competitions, but on quality infrastructure built to international standards.
Alansmith Nigeria Limited previously partnered with the tournament organisers in earlier editions of the Gold Cup, with its involvement centred on promoting quality facility standards and supporting the continued development of domestic football in Nigeria.
As the 14th edition of the Gold Cup gets underway, Alansmith looks forward to supporting the tournament while continuing its broader mission of building the pitches, facilities and sporting infrastructure that will help Nigerian football grow to the next level.
