pls we need real under 17 players n not sets of old.men selected because they are talented and applied due to high rate of unemployment....
we need to see young blood n fresh faces, not breeding a so called talented "young wizard" or "Nigeria cr7" and we see pictures like this..

Why did Ekiti Football Association named it JFK Cup, what if JFK finishes its tenure?

Would the U-17 football tournament continues?

I can see that this tournament cannot be a long lasting tournament.
