Speaking earlier, the chairman of the National Sports Commission and minister of Sports, Shehu Dikko, said football was fundamental to the economies of the best footballing countries in the world, adding that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called for immediate action to revamp the game.

He said the multiplier effects of football were enormous and could facilitate the revamp of related industries across the value chain.

The Minister noted that IMG, which promotes the English Premier League, was invited as a technical partner to leverage their experience in the sport.
