The second FCV Gladiator Camp at Grange School in Lagos, Nigeria, will be supervised by former Super Eagles midfielder Mutiu Adepoju, who will serve as a mentor to students from April 1 to April 5.
The Ex-Super Eagles player participated in the World Cups in 1994, 1998, and 2002 with Adepoju, the AFCON 1994 winner.
Adepoju outlined his participation in the camp as a component of his attempts to support the development of the youthful population, which is a teeming mass in the country.
He said, “I decided to be part of the FCV Gladiator Camp because of the passion I have for youth development and the belief I have in discovering future stars.
“I hope to show them what it takes to be successful through hard work and discipline and take them through my journey as an ex-footballer.”
The one-week training camp is organised by Dynaspro Promotion in collaboration with UK-based FCV International Football Academy with the sole aim of identifying talents among students in Nigeria.
CEO of Dynaspro, Oluseyi Oyebode, said, “Nigeria is a nation blessed with talents in sports but if we don’t discover them early, they will waste and that is why we want to fill this gap by unearthing and nurturing them to stardom.
“The coaches coming and with the involvement of Mutiu Adepoju will inspire and help the students to fulfil their potential in football. It is going to be a fun-filled camp mixed with several activities put in place to mould the participants during their stay.”
