Immediate past Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, is sponsoring a groundbreaking football tournament aimed at showcasing young Nigerian talents to scouts from around the world.
The tournament, scheduled for October 23-24 at the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan, will provide aspiring footballers with the chance to secure professional contracts that could transform their lives and communities.
Scouts from Israel, Romania, and Egypt are expected to attend, alongside representatives from Spanish giants Real Madrid and Rayo Alcobendas, further raising the stakes for these budding stars.
