President of the Academy, Uchendu Nwabara, who disclosed said the talent hunt would be executed through Global Grassroots Football Tournament (GGFT) and it would be for players between 16 and 19 years of age.

Nwabara stated that the zonal event would commence in Port Harcourt (South-South zone) from April 17 and end in Bauchi (North-East zone), on May 5, while the grand finale would hold in Abuja from May 23 to May 26.

“GGFT is a project that creates opportunities for young talented players to participate in football scouting tournaments and competitions at regional and state levels,” Nwabara said.

He explained that the best players who meet the specification of certain foreign football clubs would be sponsored and signed up immediately to play for those clubs, from where they can advance their career.
