The management of newly crowned 2016 Federation Cup winners, FC Ifeanyi Ubah, has selected UK-based agency, iGamingSports.com, to help raise the international profile of the Anambra Warriors, as well as the Nigerian club-side’s football.

The appointment came as iGamingSports.com helped broker the partnership between FC Ifeanyi Ubah and West Ham United, in a move that saw the club become the Hammers’ first ever Nigerian Football partner, and has already seen the launch of a number of key initiatives designed to improve coaching, skills and grassroots football in Nigeria.

According to Peter Stephenson OBE, Managing Consultant for Africa & Asia at iGamingSports.com, and First Secretary to the British High Commission in Nigeria, “There isn’t a footballing talent pool in the world that’s deeper than Nigeria.

“Couple that with the levels of drive and ambition that have been exemplified at FC Ifeanyi Ubah, and you have a potent combination that could be incredibly exciting on the global footballing stage.”

“We are privileged that FC Ifeanyi Ubah has chosen us to represent them, and we are excited to show what Nigerian football has to offer. It’s time to tell the world that Africa has arrived,” said Peter.

However, with the high profile Nigerian stars such as Kelechi Iheanacho, Alex Iwobi, Odion Ighalo, Victor Moses, John Obi Mikel and Isaac Success, plying their trade in the English Premiership League, EPL, the Proprietor, FC Ifeanyi Ubah and Managing Director/CEO, Capital Oil and Gas, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, has affirmed that there is work to be done.

Ubah said: “We want to raise the game and increase opportunities for our Nigerian youngsters.

“Every boy and girl in Nigeria that aspires to play football must to be given the opportunity and we want to show the world that the domestic football in Nigeria is very much on the up. Our partnerships with West Ham United and iGamingSports.com provide us with the tools to learn from the best, and the partnerships serve as catalyst to enhancing awareness of our wonderful national game in Nigeria.”
