Oborududu achieved the feat after losing 4-1 to USA’s Tamyra Stock-Mensah in the final.

The Bayelsa state government hosted all the athletes who have made the state proud in different sporting activities.

All the 25 players of Bayelsa United who won the 2021 Aiteo Cup were also rewarded with N1M each with Bayelsa Queens also getting the same amount.

Coaches of the two teams were also rewarded by the Bayelsa state Governor who was so happy.

Against all odds, Bayelsa United defeated Nasarawa United in the final of the Men's Aiteo Cup final played in Benin.
