The Jumbo Giants Summer Clinic 2026 is officially in full swing in Lagos. For the past 5 weeks, young players from across the city have gathered weekly to train, compete, and develop their football skills in a safe, structured, and fun environment. Jumbo Giants players at Summer Clinics 2026 Training With Purpose Our coaching team designed this year’s clinic around 3 core pillars: 1. Technical Development - Ball control, passing, dribbling, and shooting 2. Game Understanding

Onyx started bright but couldn’t find the back of the net. Best Talent struck first before halftime and Onyx spent the whole game chasing. That early 1st half goal. It forced Onyx to open up, and Best Talent punished them. Best Talent added 2 more without reply in the second half. Onyx showed a few glimpses of getting back into the game but the opposition made sure that didn't happen Onyx struggled to create clear chances and transition well from defense to attack, and Best

Ivory vs Best Talent was pure entertainment. 9 goals, end-to-end action, and individual brilliance everywhere. Ivory came out flying. By halftime they were 4-2 up in a crazy first 45. Best Talent fought back but Ivory’s attack was just too hot, they looked like they wanted to score with each attack. Second half was no different, Ivory scored first before the opposition responded quickly but Ivory didn't take their foot of the gas as Jae ended all hopes of a comeback with a lo

Last week, the Jumbo Giants training ground was full of energy, cheers, and flying footballs as our U10s wrapped up their 60-day Juggling Challenge. What started as a simple daily touch-count mission ended as a showcase of grit, focus, and serious ball mastery. For 60 days straight, these young Giants showed up, practiced, and pushed their limits. From kids who could barely get 2 touches on day 1, to players stringing together smooth, controlled juggles by day 60 - the growth

JG Ivory didn’t just win this one. They carved it up. From first whistle to last, it was 60 minutes of clean, cutting football. Ivory came out like they’d been waiting all week. 5 goals before half time. Luminaries nicked one back to make it 5-1, but the damage was done. Ivory were sharp, quick, and clinical. Every attack had purpose. Every shot had intent. Three more in the second half to make it 8-1. That’s the Ivory difference. 5-1 could’ve been “job done”. 8-1 says “we’re

If you want to see joy, watch 7-year-olds play football. If you want to see JG U7 play football, watch them turn a pitch into a playground. Before the oranges came out, it was already 6-0. No slow start. No “feeling each other out.” JG U7 hit the ground running and never stopped. Kelena, opened the floodgates. First goal, first smile, first “we’re here” moment. Kairo, Hat-trick hero. Three goals, endless energy. When Kairo gets going, defenders see three of him. Kayowa The fi

Football can be cruel. For 60 minutes on a Lagos pitch, JG Ember held their shape. Two goals down at half-time? Manageable. Still in it. Still fighting. Then the whistle blew for the second half, and Radial Sports flipped the switch. First half. Ember came out organized. They absorbed pressure, tracked runners, and made Radial work for every chance. The two goals conceded before the break were setbacks, not disasters. At 0-2, the idea was simple: stay compact, nick one early,

Some games you lose. Some games you survive. JG Onyx just lived through the second one. First half, The Storm Hit Early. Before Onyx could even catch their breath, Radial Sports were 7 up. Seven goals in one half isn’t tactics. That’s a hurricane. The back line couldn’t reset, midfield couldn’t breathe, and Radial punished our every mistake from the first minute. At 0-7 on the whistle, the damage was done. This stopped being about points and became about character. But here’s

If there was ever a match that showed why we love football, this was it. Ivory U10 vs Dazzle FC ended 4-5 in a full-throttle battle. First half: Dazzle went 2-0 up early. Game over? Not our Giants. The boys responded with pure belief. Jidenna, Ayo, and Yemi turned it around and we went into halftime 3-2 up. An Ivory team comeback, built on courage and quick passing. Second half: Dazzle came out with relentless pressure. They didn’t accept the deficit. Wave after wave, they pu

It was a tough afternoon for our U7 Giants. Dazzle FC took control early and led 0-4 at halftime. The second half saw them push further to 1-6 at full time. Kairo got our goal In a game where chances were few, he kept believing, kept running, and buried one for the Giants. That’s what we’re building here - players who fight until the last whistle. The boys gave their all till the last minute, no heads dropped, just pure effort and relentlessness Dazzle were clinical and punis

Our U5s went into battle against Dazzle FC last Saturday and came away with a narrow 0-1 defeat. First half ended 0-1, and that scoreline stayed the same at full time. But the result tells only half the story. At U5 level, every step onto the pitch is a win. These boys chased, tackled, and smiled the whole game. No heads dropped. No tears. Just pure effort and Giants pride. Dazzle scored early, but our boys never stopped trying to find an equalizer. They’re learning, they’re

At 2pm, Saturday, 7th of June, 2026. We went from pitch to the stage. Not for matches but for magic. Our academy family came together for something bigger than football.

One pitch, one purpose - celebrating growth, character, and tenacity. 51 awards were handed out. But these weren’t just trophies. They were stories of hardwork. We honored the Most Improved players

JG Ember put on a clinical attacking display against JG Girls, running out 6-0 winners in a one-sided affair. Ember set the tone early with Asa opening the scoring in the 9th minute with a solo dribble past the defense. The skill and composure on the run gave Ember the perfect start. Esa doubled the lead in the 13th minute, capitalizing after the girls failed to clear their lines following a corner kick. Ember went into the break firmly in control at 2-0. The second half foll

JG Ivory delivered an emphatic performance, dismantling JG Onyx 10-0 in a showcase of attacking football. Ivory were relentless from the start, racing to a 5-0 lead by half time. The team’s movement and finishing were sharp, leaving the opposition with little time to settle. The goals kept coming after the break. Ivory added another 5 to complete a 10-0 rout, with multiple players getting on the scoresheet. Moroti and Yemi both claimed hat-tricks, leading the charge for Ivory

It was a tough opening day for Jumbo Giants Ivory Team as they faced a strong Dazzle FC side at Trinity/Spring opener. Ivory started the game with intent and managed to find the net twice in the first half through Yemi, keeping things competitive and showing real attacking intent. One of Yemi’s goals was a banger free-kick struck from almost midfield that left everyone stunned. Dazzle FC held a 5-2 lead at the break, but Ivory’s response showed the fight in this group. The se

Onyx Team faced a tough test away to Dazzle FC in their Trinity Springs 26 opener. The boys started brightly and it was Ayan who gave Onyx the perfect start with the opening goal of the game. Dazzle FC responded quickly to equalise, and then scored three goals in quick succession to take control before halftime, making it 4-1 at the break. The second half went downhill as Onyx struggled to get back into the game. An early goal after the restart extended Dazzle’s lead, and the
