In order to do well at the forthcoming National Amateur League Division II, Larry Football Club of Agege, will commence their screening on 4 January, 2011 at Gowon Estate football pitch, Egbeda, Lagos State, Nigeria.
Chairman of the club, Olanrewaju Sanyaolu, disclosed to GGS in his office that he plans to build a formidable team ahead of the new season.
He said the club are coming to the National Amateur Division II not to make the numbers but to play and gain promotion to the professional league.
“I have made it clear to the players on the need to overhaul the team ahead of the National Amateur Divison I. Some of the players are match rusty and it is high time we bring fresh legs to fortify the team,†he said.
Sanyaolu said a lot of old players, who do not meet the required standard will leave the club to pave way for fresh legs, adding that the screening is open to aspiring youths across Africa.
“Some players from Benin Republic, Ghana and Togo have called to indicate their interest. They promised to come to Nigeria for the exercise. That’s why some of my old players who are not good enough will have to leave,†he said.
However, the club chairman disclosing that he does not have the capacity to pay the players monthly salaries. He said the players would be entitled to match allowances, bonuses and other incentives to boost their morale during the league.
“It is so sad that despite our achievements over the years, there is no sponsor to assist the club. If we geta sponsor today, it will be easy to pay the players monthly salaries,†he said.
