Emeka Enyimba, the Chairman of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) for the AMAC Football Coaches Council youth championship, said the tournament’s primary goal is to nurture young talents at the grassroots level.
He made this statement in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
The championship, which began on Monday in Abuja, features over 1,200 young footballers competing in the Under 13 and Under 15 categories.
According to Enyimba, the council has been organizing this championship for six years as a developmental program to scout for talented players. He added that the tournament provides a platform for young athletes to showcase their skills and abilities.

Enyimba also highlighted the significant challenges of securing sponsorship and suitable venues.
He noted that the limited access and time slots for match venues have often led to the suspension of matches and a search for alternative locations.
“The budget has exceeded initial expectations, and securing sponsorship has proven difficult.
“However, the Secretary of the FCT Football Association (FA), Haruna Illerika, has provided some support by granting access to facilities for this edition.” (NAN)
