Femmco FC demolished Ajax FC 8-1 in a U-17 friendly staged at the Champions Arena, Nawarudeen Playing Ground, Olose — a match held explicitly to honour Akanji Seun after his recent invitation to the Nigeria national under-20 football team.
The scoreboard told the story: Femmco produced eight different goalscorers and creators across the afternoon. Akanji Jibola was central, scoring two goals and supplying four assists; Olokode Micheal ran rampant with a hat-trick and two assists; Basit Yekeen, Abdulah Akinwunmi and Adu Segun each found the net once. Ajax’s lone reply came from Olawoyin Elijah. The final margin, 8-1, left little doubt about the balance between the sides that day, and ajax fc were reduced to a single score in a match that had been arranged as a celebration.
Femmco’s head coach, Oladehinde Adebayo, framed the contest as a send-off and a morale boost. "This is for our own Akanji Seun. The team is proud of his performances as a champion of the 2025/2026 NNL season with Sporting Lagos. The squad are well motivated with the recent call-up," Adebayo said, tying the victory directly to Seun’s rise after his performances with Sporting Lagos in the 2025/2026 Nigeria National League campaign and the subsequent invitation to the Flying Eagles.
The decision to stage the U-17 friendly was explicit: a tribute to Seun’s form and a public expression of the club’s backing as he prepares to join the Nigeria national under-20 football team. Sports247 Nigeria reported that Seun’s displays for Sporting Lagos in 2025/2026 produced the call-up. Femmco used the match at Champions Arena to show both celebration and depth — several young players stepped up to produce a lopsided scoreline while the club signalled its hopes for Seun’s service with the national side.
There was colour as well as goals. Adebayo was quick to point out family lines and continuity in the Femmco ranks. "I am not surprised to see his younger brother’s quality. It’s in the blood and surely he will also excel," he said, referring to Akanji Jibola’s dominant performance and linking it to Seun’s breakthrough. The coach added perspective on the win: "We will continue to improve more despite the huge victory. There is a lot to be worked on." The pair of remarks created the day’s tension — a celebration of individual achievement and club pride, followed by a blunt acknowledgement that a one-off rout does not erase the list of shortcomings a coach sees in training and preparation.
For the players who starred, the match offered a platform. Jibola’s two goals and four assists and Olokode’s hat-trick with two more assists provided statistics that will sit on coaches’ notebooks; the contributions of Yekeen, Akinwunmi and Segun completed the attacking picture. Olawoyin Elijah’s goal for Ajax ensured the game never went entirely without resistance, but it did little to alter the afternoon’s purpose: to applaud Seun and to send him off with confidence from his club.
Femmco closed the event with a public wish for Seun’s short-term future: a successful and injury-free engagement with the Flying Eagles. The club tied its celebration to expectation — Seun earned the call-up after his 2025/2026 NNL season with Sporting Lagos, and now the next chapter is national duty. If the Champions Arena performance proved anything, it is that Femmco believes its young players can step up when asked; whether Seun translates domestic form into impact for the Nigeria national under-20 football team is the task ahead that matters to him and to the club.
