The 19-year-old midfielder, honed his skills at Nigeria’s renowned 36 Lion Football Club, known for its rigorous player development program.
For three years, Bangoura trained in Lagos under the strict and regimented guidance of 36 Lion FC, one of Nigeria’s foremost football factories. The club has built a reputation for producing top-tier football talents through its boot camp-like training regimen.
“At 36 Lion Football Club, it is not easy to play our style of football. Our camp is like a Boot Camp. If you survive the grueling, you’ll play football anywhere,” a top club official revealed.
“We don’t always force the horse to the stream and relax, we usually shove the horse’s head down the stream and make sure the stallion gulps enough,” he added, highlighting the intensity of their training program.
Since joining 36 Lion FC, Bangoura has been a standout player, known for his reliability, efficiency, and intelligence on the field. His contributions have been instrumental in securing numerous grassroots football trophies for the club across various regions of Nigeria.
His move to FC Zurich marks a significant milestone in his burgeoning career, as he steps onto a larger stage in European football. The Swiss club, known for its competitive spirit and professional environment, will provide Bangoura with the perfect platform to showcase and further develop his talents.
Bangoura’s journey from Guinea-Conakry to Lagos and now to Zurich is a testament to his dedication, hard work, and the robust training he received at 36 Lion FC. As he joins FC Zurich, the football world will be watching closely, expecting great things from this emerging star.
In the words of the club official, surviving the “grueling” environment at 36 Lion FC means Bangoura is more than ready to take on the challenges and opportunities that await him in Switzerland.
