It will be a mixed grill of glory for the 16 finalists and despair for the last three boys to be evicted, as the biggest soccer reality TV show in Africa, the Glo Soccer Academy reaches the crucial stages.

Tears may flow in the house; emotions will give way to reality as the final moment will stir the boys in the face.  They will be caught between a trip to Manchester United Soccer School, N1million prize tag for 15 boys, N5 million for the Most Valuable Player and scholarships for all the finalists or a wave of bye-bye with gloomy faces to the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that may slip by.

The feeling and reaction of both the players and their coaches on the last eviction date will be captured in Episode 12 of Glo Soccer Academy, which will be aired this weekend in Nigeria, Ghana and Benin Republic on prime TV stations such as NTA, AIT, GTV, TV3, ORTB.

Before the eviction melo-drama, the team played against a Lagos Junior League top team, Nats Boys, who held them to a goalless draw. This was, however an improvement on their first encounter when the academy was taking off.

The episode will also showcase the visit to the Academy by ex-International and former Super Eagles captain, Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, who made a surprise appearance at the Academy. While at the academy, Okocha advised the boys to be “dedicated and determined” in their football career.

He added that the sky is the limit for them as they prepare to embark on a promising career in football. He urged them to work hard to make the final 16, adding that hard work and discipline will propel them to the peak of their career.
