The founder of Adamimogo Football Club, Prophet Sam Olu Alo, has charged players of the club to remain focused and make their mark in the 2023 National Nationwide League Division One scheduled for May.
Alo, who is the founder of Christ Apostolic Church, Grace of Mercy Prayer Mountain, gave the charge during the unveiling of a new set of kits for the team.
He said the team was a platform to raise and nurture young and talented football stars and build their professional careers.
The team, which is being bankrolled by the cleric, reached the final of the just concluded Ondo State FA cup competition and booked a place in the national FA competition at its first attempt.
The cleric said his decision to own a football club was bring youths out of trouble and for them to be self reliant and sustaining.
He said, “My expectation is for them to strife hard to make their mark in the league, be useful to themselves, Nigeria and for them to ply their trades abroad. That is what I wish for them.
“I want all players of the Adamimogo Football Club to be showcased to the world, for them to also grow and be nurtured into stardom like football greats, such as former Eagles captains, Austin Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu, Mikel Obi and renowned Portuguese international, Cristiano Ronaldo.
“That is what I am looking forward to and I believe with the determination of the Adamimogo FC youngsters, the good vision will come to reality.
“This is because quite a number of football scouts are already monitoring the progress of the players of the team for possible export abroad”.
The man of God said scouts from across the globe were seeing great futures in the players of the team.
The Team Manager/Secretary of Adamimogo Football Club FC, Deji Ogunbusuyi, said footballers that could fit into the plans of the team to achieve results in NNLO had been selected.
Ogunbusuyi said, “This is the first phase of the screening, we shall inject more good players into the team, play competitions, friendly matches as we report for close camping in preparation for the league.”
