He explained that the competition will help discover young players from the local government area of the state.
According to him, some talents discovered from the competition will be sent to China to play a football tournament with an academy team in China, saying that the good players will remain with the academy as part of Coach Eguma’s partnership deal with the China football academy.
The LOC chairman further said that, the first edition started with Under 20, the second, Under 17 and the third, Under 12 adding that the players discovered from the first and second edition are all doing well in their respective clubs.
