The Nigeria Nationwide League One (NLO) is taking a significant step towards modernization and global visibility.
Sola Ogunnowo, the COO of the NLO, recently expressed his excitement about partnering with a leading data collection service provider, Sports247 Reports.
Ogunnowo signed the deal on Thursday, marking a crucial move towards making the league more visible and organized. The partnership will make it easier for players to be properly scouted by foreign clubs.
“I am very happy getting this deal across. Data is very essential all over the world. Data of every player on the field of play is what you can sell,” Ogunnowo said. He emphasized that scouts’ physical presence is no longer the only way to evaluate players. With the data gathered over time, they can monitor players’ performance remotely.
This partnership also means increased exposure for the NLO, similar to what top clubs receive from Super Sports. “Super Sport has over 25 million views every month. And if NLO players and clubs are among those views all over the world, then it is a very massive one for Nigerian football,” Ogunnowo added.
This move is not just beneficial for the players and the league, but also for the coaches. The readily available online data will aid Nigerian coaches in their strategies and team management. This partnership signifies a new era for the NLO, where data-driven decisions could shape the future of Nigerian football.
