Bayern Munich scout excited with Nigerian prospect

Posted : 01 May 2023

A football player scouting group organizing the FC Bayern Munich Youth Scouting Programme in Nigeria says it has engaged 10 Nigerian youths in training to become professional footballers.

Victor Edeh, the Nigerian Director of the Group Organising the Bayern Munich Youth Cup, advised the players to see their selection as the beginning of a new journey in their careers.

He said the 10 players were selected for professional training, while an additional 10 would serve as a standby team.

“We will process their travel documents to Germany for the FC Bayern Youth Tournament at Allianz Arena,” Edeh, who said the program has been in existence since 2015, stated.

“We don’t want a situation where injury, sickness, or visa-related issues will deplete our team,” he said. Edeh said they were, however, processing the travel documents for all 20 players because this is the start of a new journey.

“We are looking forward to sorting them out with immigration and visas, organizing a training camp for them, and preparing them for the Bayern Munich Youth Cup world title,” he said.

The program organizer thanked other participants who were not selected, describing the standard of the competition as very high. He said his foundation would keep an eye on all the players and, hopefully, through their numerous projects, find a place to help them realize their dreams.

Edeh said that the 2023 edition of the Bayern Munich Youth Cup would come up in October in Germany.

He listed some of the players picked from the scouting, including Muhammed Danlami, a midfielder from Team Combined, and Muhammed Sadiq, a striker from Ablaze Academy.

Others are Saviour Mathias, a midfielder from Abuja; Ogbodo Chidozie, a striker from Purple Krown in Enugu; and Onuorah Divine, a goalkeeper from Purple Krown.

He added that Bashir Idris, a defender from Hearts FC Academy; Muhammed Mustapha, a midfielder from Hearts FC Academy; and Suleiman, a defender from Hearts FC Academy, were on the list.

“Ifeanyi Anthony, a defender from the Enugu team, and Aman Sabiu, another defender from R and K Academy, all made the team,” Edeh said.
