Football
It has been a case of southern teams all the way in the final
stages of the inaugural edition of NFF/Zenith Bank Future Eagles Championship
taking place in Ijebu-Ode.
As at Sunday afternoon, the South West U15 boys and their
counterparts from the South East had emerged as the finalists for the
competition for U15 boys, after four days of exciting football at the Otunba
Dipo Dina International Stadium.
In the U13 category, South East will slug it out with South South
in the final. The two final matches are scheduled for the Onikan Stadium, Lagos
on Monday.
Perhaps the most interesting match of the final phase so far was
the clash between the South East U15 and their counterparts from North Central,
which ended 4-4 on Saturday evening.
“With what I have seen here, I can make bold to say that the
future of Nigerian Football is bright,” former Nigerian international and
Assistant Director (Technical) of Nigeria Football Federation, Siji Lagunju,
told thenff.com.
NFF 1st Vice President Seyi Akinwunmi, who is also Chairman of the
NFF Youth Football Committee, stated that the football has been largely
fascinating, and expressed confidence that the competition will become bigger
and even more competitive in the coming years.
