He however charged the teams to ensure they present top talents, rather than investing their time on below average and too many average players in their teams.
Speaking further, Agbejoye said this is not an avenue to encourage old men in the game but the opportunity is for the young truly young Nigerians that are within the ages of 17.5years to 19. 5years maintaining that under 19 is what the tournament is cut out for.
