Nigeria: NPFL, Laliga Introduce U-12 Tourney for Nigerian Clubs


A tournament for players under 12 years is to be added to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) and Spanish League (LaLiga) collaboration for youth football development on the auspices of NPFL/LaLiga U-15 Promises Tournament.

This formed the highlight of decisions reached at an exploratory meeting between the League Management Company (LMC) and the LaLiga Nigeria team which met to design a roadmap for the next edition of the NPFL-Laliga U-15 Promises Youth League.

The discussion which held at the corporate headquarters of the League body in Abuja, was attended by the Chairman of the LMC, Mallam Shehu Dikko, alongside the Chief Operating Officer, Salihu Abubakar, Sunday Obaseki and Surajudeen Yusuff while the LaLiga team had their Nigeria Delegate, Guillermo Perez Castello, LaLiga Nigeria Ambassador, Mutiu Adepoju and Ayodeji Adegbenro.

LMC Chief Operating Officer, Salihu Abubakar explained that the meeting was held to provide interface with the parties involved, as well as design a roadmap for staging the next edition of the championship which is expected to commence in January 2020 with a coaching clinic for the NPFL clubs' U-15 coaches. Arrangements have also been put in place to have a team of the U-12 cadre to represent the NPFL in a competition organised by LaLiga in Spain.

I hope they won't use age cheating, favouritism and bribery to scatter it

Spurs

Spuds sounds better.. Forever in Arsenal's shadows.

edi287:

This is why in as much as I hate Spuds, I'll always respect Pochettino.
Dude didn't care that Spuds had spent 30m on Llorente. He put his faith in Kane and the rest is history.

Soldado

This Watford deserve to relegate, but how will VAR say that Mane goal is offside?

jihday:
Soldado

Yep thanks. Soldado...

Joshua Orobosa Zirkzee on the bench again for Bayern as they get set to take on Werder Bremen in the next 46 mins.

Mujtahida:

Ambitious in terms of making progress. Left for the North we'd still be under the colonialists.

Left for the North we'd still be under military dictatorship (in fact by temperament this is the kind of government they like)

So granted they dominate and control the major levers of power, but they are driving the nation back and not forward.

What progress has the South made? Or are the Northerners the Governors in the South "driving the South back"?

What progress did the likes of Obasanjo and Jonathan bring to the nation to drive it forward?
Abi, dem no bi Southerners?

The whole country is not ambitious in my own opinion. Mediocre is what I see everywhere.

Nacho starts

jihday:
Nacho starts

nice one, I hope he proves that he is in form to some unbelievers.

Nacho starts

I am surprised Rodgers persists with this 4-3-1-2 (AKA 4-1-2-1-2). I thought he would revert to his normal 4-1-4-1. Hmmm.... Well, Great to see NachoMan start again.

Ndidi and Nacho... Such beauty.

edi287:

It is mostly Igbos that call Yoruba "slaves of Hausa/Fulani" despite being ruled over by the same Hausa/Fulani. How many times do you hear Yoruba folks call us slaves? Go through NL for one and see if what I'm saying is a lie.
Good you mentioned 4 Northern states which are good based on naija standards but if you listen to what some folks say, you'd think the whole North region is thrash despite some folks living in the said area.
At the end of the day - 95 percent of this country is beyond bleeped up...the east is better off than the north but it's still nothing to write home about... There's nothing to brag about not having constant power, good roads, etc. All this tribal wars is juvenile when compared to the bigger picture - our dear country is nothing to write home about.
I'm not saying don't be proud of your tribe(I'll always be proud Igbo man) but let's be more reasonable.
How ever we want to look at it - "illiterate and unambitious North" is ruling this country. What does that say about the rest of us?

What more can I say? The bolded said it all.

Ovie Ejaria starts behind the strikers in a 4-3-1-2 set-up for Reading FC as they take on Stoke City away in the English Championship.

Ebere Eze starts as well for QPR away at Barnsley.

Kingsley Ehizibue starts as a RW for FC Koln as they take on Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

Taiwo Awoniyi on the bench for Mainz as they take on Borussia Dortmund.

Jamilu Collins starts (as usual) for Paderborn in a bundesliga home fixture against Union Berlin as they try to consolidate on their last win over Bremen away.

Ujah is on the bench for Union Berlin.

Awaziem is not better than omeruo

Period

I agree.

Bros if soldado has done well they will put faith on him

Why will they put faith on someone who can only score pk and not a normal goal ?

CASTAGNE:

there are lots of Kane's and vardy's out there ,all they need is a manager who has faith in them

There are a lot of Kane’s out there but there are very few Vardys out there or none

How many strikers start doing well at 28 ?

Just in: Semi Ajayi's West brom came back twice to win 3-2 away at Birmingham. They are back on top of the English Championship.

Ofcos Semi Played all 90 mins and put in a solid shift.

He did it to accommodate nacho ,and I think it’s because they are at home against Norwich

Maybe he might go back to the 4-1-4-1 against stronger opponents

But if nacho scores today don’t he surprise if Rodgers continues with this formation

yeah vardy is a special case

This west brom will get promotion

Never believed they will win this game

nacho to score and assist today

CASTAGNE:

yeah vardy is a special case

The other striker that came close to be like Vardy was Jamie mata of getafe

charlesemeka85:
nacho to score and assist today

Agreed with anyone

i tip them and leeds to be promoted automatically

andrewbaba44:

Don't be too quick to predict, the championship is somehow before you know it now they may start struggling to make top 6

Yeah but Norwich can be a troublesome opposition especially outwide so I thought he will revert back to 4-1-4-1. We saw how they turned up wild against Man City.

Well shaa, Rodgers has done his analysis and shocked me by starting Nacho again. Na win-win for me.

Tomori didn't make bench.. Na wa o e be like say lampard don throway the guy

jihday:

I know but west brom kept on refusing to loose some games they are supposed to ,they have won some games with several late goals

Should I remind you they are 14 points clear from the team on 3rd position?

CASTAGNE:

but mata has slowed down recently

Yes that’s why I said came close

Mata is not even half as good as Vardy self
