Lagos J-League Targets U-17, U-20 Talents
The Lagos Junior League (J-League) has promised to strive to discover budding talents between 17 and 20 years for development.
The Technical Director, Tunde Disu, told newsmen in Lagos that J-League would continue to feature only talents in its competitions.
He said that the league – which is in its third year – had maintained its objective of nurturing talents at the grassroots.
“The J-League is now an avenue for football agents to scout for genuine budding talents.
“We have made sure that only the right ages are allowed to participate in the competitions.
“Our products can fit into the U-20 and U-17 national teams and compete favourably with their counterparts from other countries,” Disu told newsmen.
“Most of the players featuring in the competition are from Surulere and its environs.
“We are trying to bring in more players from other local government areas,’’ Disu said.
