He added that it would be an excellent opportunity for the players to demonstrate their skills and catch the attention of professional teams (scouts) that would be available.

“This is an opportunity we have to grab, the event will provide us with the opportunity for our players to go out there and showcase what they have which will give them the opportunity to sign up with International football clubs,” Opanuga told media.

“This is a good initiative from SPOCS it is one of its kind like I said we just have to tap into this. At SGFC Athletics we have the talents to parade and I am confident that it is a sign that something good is just about to happen.”
