Nigeria's inaugural league winners, Mighty Jets of Jos, kick off scouting programme

Posted : 29 November 2023

Mighty Jets International FC, the first team to win the Nigeria league, has launched a scouting program aimed at targeting ambitious players, prompted by their foreign partners who arrived in the country from Spain.

The ongoing exercise is taking place at the Zaria Road Stadium. Ferdinand Mbum, the General Manager of Mighty Jets INT'L FC, announced at a press conference that scouts Eduardo Alcantara and former Argentine International Mario Luna were in the country to assess and select talented footballers for potential opportunities in Europe and the Middle East.

Mr. Mbum stated, "Our mandate from the Plateau State Government is to commercialize football and make it a revenue-generating entity, especially Mighty Jets International FC, as the club is a globally recognized brand. So, one of the major tasks is to export our players to the rest of the world; we'll be sending our players to foreign clubs sooner than later."

He emphasized the need for the club to be self-reliant in terms of funding and outlined his vision, stating that this approach would keep the club on track as a formidable force.

The General Manager added, "We have a good number of partners ready to come to the club and select quality players whose careers can be enhanced and facilitated, and this is just the starting point."

Responding to questions, Eduardo Alcantara mentioned that they were determined to select players they deemed "good and fit enough" to compete globally, highlighting the competitive nature of football.

Former Argentine International Mario Luna expressed his enthusiasm about what he witnessed at the Zaria Road Stadium during the commencement of the scouting program.

The Club's General Manager hinted that the Executive Governor, Barr. Caleb Muftwang, would be meeting with the scouts at the end of the program in Abuja.

Meanwhile, Mighty Jets International FC defeated Mighty Jets International FC Feeders team 4-1, while Plateau Jets Sports Club lost 3-1 to Mighty Jets International FC B team.
