Just few months after their establishment, staff of Ozisa FM will be smiling home with their first glory after beating state owned Orient FM to win the maiden edition of the Imo Radio League.

In a final match played on Sunday December 8, 2019 at Kanu Nwankwo Sports Center, Owerri, Imo State, Ozisa FM put one arm on the trophy with a first half goal from Stanley and in the second half, they doubled their lead to make things more difficult for Orient FM whom they also defeated at the group stage.
