Themed "A Fight Against Cultism, Prostitution, and Drug Abuse," the event aims to promote positive responses to these pressing issues affecting the community and the state at large.

In a statement released by the Planning Committee, the event will not only feature the football match but also incorporate several activities focused on health education, awareness, and sports to engage and educate the student population. These activities include sports events tailored for female comrades such as egg races, sack races, eating competitions, and football penalty shootouts.

The highlight of the event will be the ultimate showdown to determine the football dominance among the "Up-School Comrades" (scientists), "Down-School Comrades" (artists), and "Commercials" (business gurus). This competition promises to be fiercely contested as representatives from each faculty vie for the prestigious title.

Moreover, the IMSU Comrades Community plans generous giveaways as part of the initiative, including the distribution of sanitary pads, hand wash, and soaps to promote hygiene among students. Additionally, six lucky "Imo Stars" in attendance will have their school fees fully paid, highlighting the community's commitment to supporting academic excellence and student welfare.
