Peacock Sports International Foundation, in conjunction with Lagos State Football Coaches Association, have concluded plans to organise a football tourney after the FIFA World Cup.
The president of the body, Pastor Godspower David, said the tourney will be held in the five football divisions of Lagos State. The divisions are Badagry, Epe, Ikeja, Ikorodu and Lagos Island.
David said the championship is to create an enabling environment for talent hunting from the grassroots. He said the competition will help national coaches of the age grade teams pick best players that can feature for Nigeria in FIFA underage competitions.
He further said that they had made plans with the coaches to train and retrain the talents that would be discovered from the championship for future international engagements.
