From a Voice Note to a Movement

Nov 24, 2025 · 4 min read

From Showtime Arena to the first-ever futsal school tournament, discover how Futsal Lagos turned a WhatsApp voice note into a movement.

Chapter 01

The spark that started it all

2025 was a year of firsts, but we’re not done yet!

Futsal Lagos started in 2022 with a voice note. Sent to ten different guys. One idea:

"What if we built a futsal league in Lagos?"

No pitch, no deck, just a dream passed around on WhatsApp.

That voice note helped build Futsal Lagos to where we are today.

And this year? It moved louder than ever.

April: Showtime, for real

We kicked off 2025 the only way we know how, with a bang!

Showtime Arena. Meadow Hall, Lekki.

A pitch full of future stars.

An all-female squad. Skills upon skills on display.

With pro players bringing the tekkers and tension.

The energy? Wild.

The crowd? All in.

And the media? Pooja, Tobex, Dr. Victor Ademola... you know the vibes.

It was a reminder.

That Futsal isn't just a concept. It's a culture.

October: the first-ever futsal school tournament

This one hit different.

We brought futsal to secondary schools for the first time in Nigeria, and the students showed up ready to ball.

Whitesands School. Lekki.

Top schools from across Lagos.

Fierce matchups, last-minute goals, even the city traffic couldn't stop us.

Students. Teachers. Parents.

That after-school, 5-a-side energy? We scaled it.

Hunger, flair, and football IQ that caught everyone off guard.

We're still tingling just thinking about it.

We can't forget our 2025 partners

None of this happens without the believers.

The brands who backed the vision and helped us build:

Moniepoint, Lyfe Water, ODG Sports, Ball Off, Who Knows Ball...

Big love to all of you.

We move, only because you moved with us.
