Betway, international online betting platform, made good on its promise to keep supporting the development of grassroots football in Nigeria by donating sports materials to the G12 football club at an event was held at Campus mini stadium last week Wednesday.
The donation of the valuable materials excited the young football players and backroom staff at the 3-year-old football club who went on to say that they have been inspired by Betway’s gesture to achieve greater things in their careers.
Grassroots football is important to the growth of Nigerian football, and at least four players of the G12 football club had earlier been invited for a screening exercise to earn spots in the current national U17 team.
Betway’s continuous support to the development of the sport in Nigeria will ensure that young football players who struggle for motivation due to lack of adequate training materials have the confidence that their dreams to become great household names remain valid.
Nigerian football greats such as Rashidi Yekini, Nwankwo Kanu, Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha, Emmanuel Amuneke, Finidi George and many others had honed their skills in the country’s local scenes before going on to register their names on the international stage. That is the opportunity Betway is providing young players with initiatives like this.
It is without a doubt that this tremendous show of support for grassroots football will inspire these young talents to become the next generation of stars who will don the colourful green-white-green shirt of the Super Eagles on the international stage in the future.
