He also added a 100 percent increment for all participating clubs at the second edition billed to start today, August 4 to August 10, 2023.
"We have have increased the pool of revenue for the participating clubs, there will be 100% increment in the appearance and logistics fees. Each club will earn N500,000 while the winner will take home N2million as prize money. The second and third-placed teams will get an improved amount of N1.5million and N1million respectively". Tade said.
In Group A, defending champions Remo Stars are grouped alongside Kwara United, Heartland FC, and Sporting Lagos while Rivers United, Abia Warriors, Shooting Stars and Beyond Limits FA are in Group B.
Hostilities begin today at Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne at 9am when Remo Stars take on Kwara United. Newly promoted side, Heartland FC will face Sporting Lagos at 2pm while Shooting Stars will lock horns with Beyond Limits FA at 4pm.

According to ValueJet Cup 2023 Director of Communication Adepoju Tobi Samuel 'Oga Nla Media', Optimus Bank has been announced as the sponsor for Man of the Match award. He said N1.5million (N100,000) each will serve as reward for any player that emerged Man of the Match in all the ten matches. Adepoju added that matches will be live on ValueJet Cup YouTube channel.
