1xBet Cup History

1xBet has a track record in organizing amateur competitions and this is the third of such competitions under their banner.

The 1xCup continues to grow as the years progress and has come a long way since the 2023 edition which saw Bariga FC beat 40 other teams to claim the title and take home 1,000,000 NGN in prize money.

There was an increase in 2024 as FC Bethel Sporting walked away with 10,000,000 NGN from a prize pool of 20,000,000.
