In a significant development for African football, the United Organization for Education and Sports Development Africa has signed a landmark partnership with the Federation of Football Association (FIFA) through the Chameleon Int'l Football Sports Academy, led by Hon. Sir. Michael Obikwelu Ofoegbu, Advisor to the Association.
The partnership, sealed by Distinguished Amb. Prof. Chineke, Cajethan Goodluck, President General of the United Organization for Education and Sports Development Africa, and a team from London, aims to identify and nurture young football talent in Africa. The initiative will select 20 exceptional football players aged 16-21 to play overseas in FIFA-accredited leagues, providing them a platform to progress their careers and achieve stardom from next year onwards.
The talent hunt will take place during the National Youth Talent and Discovery Competition, scheduled for August next year in Awgu Diocese. This competition promises to be a game-changer for young African footballers, offering them a chance to showcase their skills and secure opportunities to play at the international level.
This partnership underscores the commitment of both organizations to invest in the future of African football and other sporting categories providing young talents with the support and opportunities needed to excel globally.
