Stunner Enterprises Inc. Launches The Championship - A National Stage Built to Elevate HBCU Soccer

The Championship – National HBCU Soccer Invitational debuts October 9, 2026 at Silverbacks Park in DeKalb County, Georgia

May 21, 2026

DEKALB COUNTY, GA - Stunner Enterprises Inc. today officially announced the launch of The Championship – National HBCU Soccer Invitational, a premier national showcase created to elevate HBCU soccer through competition, culture, visibility, and opportunity.

Set for Friday, October 9, 2026, at Silverbacks Park in DeKalb County, Georgia, the inaugural event will feature a women’s and men’s doubleheader between Talladega College and Paul Quinn College:

• 12:00 PM - Women’s Match 
• 3:00 PM - Men’s Match 

More than a single event, The Championship represents the beginning of a new tradition - a national stage designed to create greater visibility, expanded opportunity, and a stronger competitive and cultural presence for HBCU soccer and the student-athletes continuing to shape its future.

A Defining Moment for HBCU Soccer

For generations, HBCU soccer programs have produced talent, resilience, leadership, and excellence - often without a national stage that fully reflected their impact and potential.

The Championship was built to change that.

Developed by Stunner Enterprises Inc., the event has been intentionally structured to:

• Elevate visibility for HBCU student-athletes 
• Expand opportunities for participating institutions 
• Deliver a high-level competitive and cultural experience 
• Create a scalable foundation for the continued growth of HBCU soccer 

Bringing The Championship to life has required a deliberate and collaborative effort across institutions, event operations, and collegiate athletic leadership — navigating scheduling, compliance, and operational requirements to establish a strong and sustainable foundation for the inaugural showcase and its future growth.

More than 50 years since an HBCU men’s or women’s soccer program last captured a national title, The Championship arrives at a pivotal moment for the sport — creating a national stage centered on visibility, opportunity, culture, and community.

Leadership Perspective

Tunde Adeyemi, Founder of The Championship and Stunner Enterprises Inc., said:

“The Championship is about creating what has long been missing — a true national stage for HBCU soccer.

This is bigger than a matchday or a moment. It’s about building visibility, expanding opportunity, and creating a platform that reflects the true excellence, identity, and culture of HBCU athletics.

We are building something designed to inspire institutions, empower student-athletes, and elevate the future of HBCU soccer on a national level.”

Building Toward October 9

In the months leading into the inaugural event, The Championship will continue rolling out institutional announcements, strategic collaborations, media initiatives, and elevated fan and community experiences as momentum builds toward October 9.

The Championship arrives at a defining moment for HBCU soccer - representing both a national stage for the sport and the beginning of a new era within the HBCU community.
