A Nigerian football agent based in Belgium, Julius Owen Ighodaro has endorsed the forthcoming second edition of the NDDC Cup, describing it as a breeding ground for future generation of football stars that would replace current players in both under age teams and the Super Eagles.
Ighodaro said he had followed the competition from the first edition and expressed optimism that the 2nd edition would be more competitive.
He praised organisers of the competition, GRASSOF and its president, Ekpenyong, for the foundation it has laid and urged them not to lower the standard of the competition.
He asked the sponsors, NDDC not to hold back on anything that would raise the awareness and quality of the competition as it has caught the attention of football agents across the globe.
“I followed the first edition of this competition from Belgium and I’m very impressed with the quality of organisation and competitiveness. I’m sure every aspect of the competition would improve,” he said. “I’m connected with GRASSOF and follow Nigeria grassroots football.
Mr. Ekpenyong the president of GRASSOF is doing great every year with grassroots football.”
