SAN FRANCISCO, September 18, (THEWILL) – The Special Assistant to President Buhari on Sports, Daniel Amokachi, has expressed happiness over the proposed return of the national Principals’ Cup tournament.
Reports suggest that HideaPlus, organisers of the tournament in conjunction with the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development are looking at November/December to kick-off the youth football event.
The former Super Eagles international disclosed that the timing of the event is perfect as it will help promote young talents across the country.
He said: “We have amazing talents in various parts of the country but there must be a way of identifying them. The National Principals’ Cup is one of such ways to get hidden talents from the schools.
“The competition was in place in the past but somehow it fizzled out. I expect this to be a big revival that will linger for so long.
“I expect that with time the dividends of the national Principals Cup will be clear to all with products in the junior national team.”
