Emmydinho FC who defeated MFM side 1-3 in a friendly match, have continued to strengthen their sides to enable the team to perform better. “We’re trying to reshuffle the team, we just started the screening and you can see the difference already,” were the words of Team Manager Babatunde Bello of Emmydinho FC to Sports247.
The team will be participating in the majority of competitions such as the TCC League, NLO One, Lagos State FA Cup, and also the Surulere Regional League, and the Team Manager has told fans of the club to expect a lot from the team. “Expect the best from Emmydinho this year. I believe that after I’ve finished the screening you will see the best of Emmydinho this year. We’re trying to bring stars from all over Nigeria so we can come out fully this year,” said Bello.
“We’re doing a lot of packaging to make a formidable team and you’re going to see the best of Emmydinho FC this year,” he added.
On participation in the NLO one, the TM expressed his confidence in the team winning the league. “We’re going there to win the league and not to complete the numbers, you can mark my words. You’re going to see a better Emmydinho when the league started,” Babatunde Bello said.
He further explained that the lack of sponsorship is a huge problem in helping the welfare of players and teams. He stated that Emmydinho has spent over 10million naira over the year on camping and all its preparations and it’s not easy for the teams. He called on corporate bodies and other investors to help sponsor the teams in Nigeria generally.
