By Daily Sports on May 18, 2017

The Nigeria Players Union has announced the take-off of the inaugural edition of the Stephen Keshi National Youth Football Tournament (SKNYFT) with the commencement of registration of potential participants across the country.

General Secretary of the Union, Austin Popo, said in a statement that “the National Youth Football Tournament for under-19 youths, which  has already received the endorsement of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), will serve as a most veritable platform for thousands of youths across the country to showcase their football talents and have the opportunity to be  sported and selected  for placement in foreign clubs by some invited football scouts from Europe and, most importantly, to honour and preserve the contributions and legacies of the late Stephen Keshi to the  overall development of Africa Football and the rest of the world.”

Popo explained that the Stephen Keshi National Youth Football Tournament is part of the Players Union activities that will be domiciled in the Stephen Keshi Football and Vocational Training Centre (SKFVTC) Obazuwa, Edo State, annually.

Popo said the tournament has equally received a fresh boost from some present and past members of the Super Eagles team who have indicated their interest as ambassadors/partners. Daily Sports reports that the finals of the tournament will kick off from the second week of July 2017 in Benin City.
