President of Abuja-based football Academy, Water FC, Makanjuola Nureni, has pledged his support for the Africa Arm wrestling Championship
The Chief Executive Officer of Water FC and respected football agent, MK is now extending his influence beyond football—pledging full support for the 14th African Armwrestling Championship set to hold in Abuja from July 23–27.
While MK has already made a verbal commitment to supporting the event, his reputation for delivering big when it comes to youth-focused projects has stirred massive excitement in the sports community. From helping footballers find their footing on global stages to supporting community-based tournaments, MK’s passion for raising future stars is unmatched.
MK—celebrated across the sports ecosystem as a builder of talent and champion of youth empowerment—described the project as “historic, massive, and worthy of national celebration and support,” especially with over 400 athletes and officials from 20 African countries expected to storm Nigeria’s capital city.
“Supporting the African Armwrestling Championship is not just about the sport—it’s about the future of our youth. Every platform that gives them purpose, discipline, and exposure deserves every kobo we can invest,” MK was quoted as saying during a private conversation with members of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC).
Makanjuola MK’s name rings loudly in the Nigerian sports scene—not only for producing elite football talents—but also for always showing up when it matters. His latest move positions him not just as a sports philanthropist, but a national asset for total sports development.
As the countdown to Abuja 2025 ticks toward 9 days, MK’s endorsement is more than symbolic—it’s strategic. His involvement is expected to inspire other well-meaning Nigerians and corporate bodies to come forward in support of the event, which will welcome over 400 athletes and officials from 24 countries.
The LOC Chairman, Hon. Adeboye Adeyinka, lauded MK’s gesture, calling him “a true friend of the youth and a champion of sport in all forms.”
“MK doesn’t just fund sports—he understands the emotional and economic impact it has on the youth. His support is priceless, and we are deeply honored.”
From Water FC to Abuja 2025, MK’s footprint continues to expand across sporting disciplines. His legacy isn’t just about football—it’s about building an entire generation through sports.
And as the stage sets for Africa’s biggest armwrestling event, it’s men like Makanjuola Nureni who ensure the dreams of young African athletes don’t just survive—but thrive
