The Akwa Ibom State Football Association (AKSFA) has introduced a fresh logo, marking a new era for the association. This significant development was announced by the new board, led by Chairman Samuel Umoh, who promptly took action following their official inauguration.
The decision to adopt a new logo came in response to feedback from supporters who felt that the previous design did not adequately represent the association’s status.
The unveiling took place on Friday, May 24, 2024, during the first-ever Solemn Assembly organised by the association. This event, aimed at ushering in the new administration, provided the perfect occasion for the logo’s debut in front of Akwa Ibom State’s football stakeholders and enthusiasts.
The new logo, featuring an orange and green background to reflect the state’s colours, incorporates a football-shaped design within an oval, symbolising the core mission of the association. It has been met with widespread approval and praise from the football community.
