offs for the Airtel Rising Stars tournament 2013 began on Monday with the
organizers naming the training pitches.
ITRealms gathered that the North East zone would take place at Ahmadu
Bello Stadium, Kaduna while Abuja zonal championship for the North Central zone
has been scheduled to hold at the Old Parade Ground, Area 10, the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT).
For Enugu zonal matches, ITRealms also gathered would be at the University of Nigeria Enugu
Campus Stadium, Enugu, whereas the Liberation Stadium would serve as the venue
for the Port Harcourt zonal championship.
Just as the Legacy Pitch,
National Stadium, Surulere and the Mainbowl of the Liberty Stadium, Ibadan would

respectively.
Successful
talents from this exercise will qualify to feature for their teams in the
knock-out stages from where eight teams from both the male and female
categories would proceed to the semis to determine the two finalists and
eventual winners.
The winners will
automatically qualify as zonal flag bearers to the national championship in
Lagos.
