Barring any unforeseen hitch, the Niger State chapter of the Federation of Youth Soccer Clubs (FEYSOC) would soon embark on scouting to discover hidden soccer stars in the state with a view to nurturing them into a formidable squad capable of bringing back soccer glory to the state and Nigeria at large.
The project is part of an aggressive and ambitious youth soccer talent hunt led by the state Director-General of FEYSOC, Alhaji Umar Batako Lapai, a celebrated former national soccer promoter.
Lapai stated this at the finals of the 2021 Emir of Minna Under-14 football competition which took place at the late Bako Kontagora Memorial Stadium, Minna, recently.
He said FEYSOC’s vision is to utilise football competitions among age grades in the state as hunting grounds to discover hidden soccer talents thereby arresting the depleting ranks of soccer greats in the country. (ThisDay)
