Soccer promotion giant, Giant Brillers, in collaboration with Kwara Football Association (FA) have announced plans to organise a scouting programme to discover young football talents.
The programme will be in the form of a football tournament among seven football clubs and academies in Ilorin, the state capital.
According to the programme, seven clubs that will be participating in the tournament are Foresight FA, Abraysports FC, La Planet SA Sunrise FA, Laycon FC, Oladunni FC and Kwara Football Academy, KFA.
Speaking on the development, the FA chairman, Idris Musa, said the deal with Giant Brillers is in keeping with the state football house’s deliberate policy to transit grassroots sports development to elite sports.
“Everybody stands to gain here; the players, their development clubs and the state at large,” explained Thuraya.
According to him, the tournament is not a mere fishing expedition without any envisaged outcome.
“It’s a scouting programme where we already know where the players are going,” he explained.
He stated Giant Brillers already have European clubs lined up and ready to have their scouts watch the best of the talents from the tournament.
