Sokoto State has successfully hosted the first revival edition of the Game of Five Tournament, also known as Sardauna’s Game, with the goal of promoting unity among states and reviving sport in the region.

The Game of Five, which was first played in Nigeria in 1928 in Kebbi State, is a variant of handball or a wall game, played with a ball using hands.
