West Ham storm Nigeria to scout for players

Fast rising NPFL side and first African partner of West Ham United FC of England, FC Ifeanyi Ubah will this week host top brass London based club, West Ham United FC in Lagos and Nnewi in a bid to take the partnership between both football clubs to the next level.

A West Ham delegation led by Hammers managing Director, Angus Kinnear with President of FC Ifeanyi Ubah, Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah will on Wednesday unveil the blueprint that will guide the hunt for the next Nigerian football superstar.

The project which aims to identify talented kids between the ages of 6 – 15 years will kick off in December with coaches and scouts of West Ham in regular attendance to offer technical support throughout the duration of the project.

Selected kids will be enrolled into Ifeanyi Ubah football academy with the aim of harnessing their talents, thus providing West Ham with a pool of talented players to pick from on a quarterly basis.
