“The festival will give us a chance to evaluate the readiness and suitability of some of our local talents. Due to the peculiar situation we found ourselves where we could not hold the apex league due to the lawsuit that dragged on for so long.”
“We have seen another opportunity and we hope that the players who will be on display will come with their best game and make it difficult for the Technical Crew to overlook them.”
Appointed in 2019, the former Nigerian international was part of the Technical crew that led the D’Tigers to a decent world cup run while becoming the first African team to book the 2020 Olympics ticket.
