The Ogun Ministry of Youth and Sports has concluded plans to engage street soccer to hunt for talents. The Commissioner for Sports, Mr. Afolabi Afuape, in statement on Tuesday in Abeokuta, said the game would be played across the three senatorial districts of the state. Afuape said the aim was to select and train the talents to form formidable teams for the state. The idea behind the street soccer games is to scout for youths who have passion for soccer and other sports across the state, he said. According to the commissioner, the state government would soon begin a football academy where students would combine sports with academic activities in line with global practices. He urged individuals and corporate organisations to sponsor sporting activities adding that “government alone cannot do it’’.
