Dressed in jerseys bearing the name "Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu Challenge Cup 2023," the players will receive a message of encouragement to overcome their disabilities and strive for excellence.

The First Lady's support extends beyond mere recognition, as the winning teams will receive generous prizes and cash rewards directly from Ibijoke Sanwoolu herself. This serves as an incentive for the players to showcase their skills and compete at their best during the challenge cup. Furthermore, the Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu Paravolley Challenge Cup is set to become an annual event, creating a tradition of solidarity and celebration of disabled paravolley players in Lagos.
