I grow up in Abuja and deem it necessary to organize this Kenneth Omeruo’s football academy trial for the coaches to discover young talents that will stand the test of time.

We emphasize strictly on 16-18 years, it’s going to be young boys who are in their formative years and still have time to grow and as well learn about the game. I will also be there to be part of the screening process. I have started this for a long time.

“We have discovered some exciting players who are now part of the U20 team and some are plying their trade with NPFL sides.
