“Generally, you can see the national coaches that are around here. This is a plus for these boys. Some of them, without mincing words, will get called up to the national team and they will go there to prove their best and that is how their career can spring up. This is a great opportunity for them and I pray it will come to pass” he said.
Ijeomata Chuks, therefore, added that “I am mandated by the FCT FA Chairman to come here and represent him based on his tight schedule. He was so passionate about this tournament. He donated the prize money for this tournament to make sure the boys are happy and you can see the excitement everywhere on the faces of these kids
“And you know the FA Chairman, one of the cardinal points in his campaign was to develop grassroots football and discover talents in the FCT, Not just in the municipal, in the Area Council and you can see Bwari Area is coming alive with sporting events so likewise other Area Councils which are his dreams and facility development as well.
“As you can see nothing is here but at the same time, the FA Chairman is doing enough to see that soonest, pitches around the Area councils will be developed for proper playing” he stated
