One of the sponsors of Nigerian football have stated delight with the potentials of the country’s under-15 national team, Future Eagles.
Sports247.ng gathered that the sponsor is raining accolades on Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for a job well done in keeping the team together and setting the players on the right part to stardom.
This much, according to the NFF’s communications department, is coming from Zenith Bank PLC, which is happy with for the progress the federation has made with the cadet teams since they signed a partnership agreement a couple of years ago.
The partnership birthed the Future Eagles’ U13/ U15 project, on the wings of the NFF/Zenith Bank Future Eagles Championships.
The heartwarming words of praise were showered on the NFF leadership by GMD/CEO of Zenith Bank, Peter Amangbo, when the NFF, led by the its President, Amaju Melvin Pinnick, presented the Future Eagles at the partners’ headquarters in Lagos.
Speaking at the event, Amangbo expressed delight at the work done so far by the Federation with regards to the Future Eagles, as well as the talents already produced through the project, whilst also encouraging the lads to maintain discipline and focus on their chosen careers.
Amangbo said: “I feel delighted to have you all here. I want to thank the NFF for the great job they’ve done in the last few years.
“We have never had it this good. Everyone recognises the revolution that has taken place in Nigerian football. From today, you are now members of the Zenith family.
“Times are changing and you must start the right way. You all have a great future ahead of you. Football has gone to another level.
“For you to achieve your full potential, the most important thing is you must be very disciplined. If there’s no discipline and you don’t listen to your coaches, you will waste your talents.
“Those making waves today started like you, but to accomplish their goal, they maintained discipline.
“Have it at the back of your minds to avoid taking substances, smoking and drinking excessively as these are capable of destroying careers.”
