The children are not left out as they would be a “dab” dance competition, sack races, tug of war with winners to go home with souvenirs and other elegant prizes.

Olamide also appealed to corporate bodies, individuals and well-meaning Nigerians to be “charitable” and help their quest to reduce the poverty rate in Nigeria by showing their support for the organisation’s scheme

The Change Africa Foundation is a non- governmental organisation aimed at helping to “bridge the gap between the less privileged and the privileged” through football.
The major objective of the organisation is also to use the games to raise funds for orphanage houses in Lagos in order to ensure the children have a better life and standing in the society.
